Winter
Thanks Spirit Week … Wiley Gives Back: What
a success! We received wonderful
feedback about our week of fun and service.
Thank you for your participation!
We
LOVE our Wiley PTA! The
entire Wiley staff was treated to a relaxing & delicious breakfast buffet
just before the winter break. Family and friends covered the classrooms while
we stuffed our bellies and delighted in a fun raffle for awesome prizes. From
donuts to Amazon gifts cards to spa treatments … wow, we were spoiled. Over 60 volunteers were on campus to make this day a success while many others contributed food & raffle
prizes. Thank you!
As if that weren’t enough, PTA recently awarded
over $1,000 in grant money to support the professional journeys of several of our
teachers and administration. Criteria for selection highlighted professional
development and links to either our magnet theme or healthy schools
initiative. Again, THANK YOU Wiley PTA!
Spelling
Bee: Congratulations
to all of our brave and courageous Spelling Bee finalists! I was so proud of
each participant! Noah, a third grader,
prevailed after several tense rounds of battle with a second grader!
Looking
for something to do this weekend? Hop
on over to Dorton Arena where you’ll bump into several of our Wiley students
celebrating Chinese New Year. More
information about Raleigh’s Chinese New Year Festival can be found here.
Welcome
… Since our last update, Kristin Brownell has
re-joined the Wiley staff as a reading intervention teacher and Meghan Sollars
joined us as a part-time AIG teacher. AND,
we also welcomed back (with love) Katie Ware and Chris Hahner from maternity
leave. Please also join me in welcoming Ms.
Love (Ms. Smith’s student teacher from Meredith College), Ms. De Leon (Ms.
Jeffries’ student teacher from William Peace University), Ms. Shriver (Ms.
Thompson’s student teacher from William Peace University), and Ms. Dombroski

Behind the
Scenes: Big
thanks to these guys for getting us up & running after our winter weather
this past weekend!
Wiley Spotlight
This week’s Wiley spotlight shines on
our Teaching Assistant of the Year, Mrs. Kari Brown. Mrs. Brown serves as a Teaching Assistant in
Ms. Thompson’s Kindergarten Class. Staff
and students used these words to describe Mrs. Brown - kind, sweet, caring, and
loving. What more could you ask for?
Congratulations to Mrs. Brown and Ms.
Ross (Teacher of the Year) for representing us so well!
