NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Wilkes Families, 

What a treat to carve the Thanksgiving Turkey for students and staff last Thursday! Thanks to our amazing Food and Nutrition Services department for creating such a wonderful feast.

It was also a joy to look through the cards created for the Thanksgiving Cheer Card project in partnership with the Senior Center, Island Volunteer Caregivers, and Helpline. The cards will be included with Thanksgiving meals and delivered to those in our community who could use a spark of joy.

We are so thankful for our incredible Wilkes community! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!

Warmly,

Whitney
HAPPY THANKSGIVING BREAK
