Friday, April 24, 2015 Words From Wilshire is sent via email to al all of our families. If you are not receiving the email version, please email Cindy Ridge to be added to the contact list: [email protected] Dear Families, Road construction onstruction has started on 36th Ave – the playground side of the school. Highcrest Road and the sidewalk on Highcrest may be closed at times which may ma inconvenience our buses or families as you drive near school. Please remind your child to cross the street at intersections - not mid-block mid - and to be especially watchful around large construction equipment as drivers may not be able see around it. The large construction onstruction equipment is extremely appealing to kids; for their own safety, they should not be climbing on construction equipment parked near school on evenings and weekends. There have also been concerns from neighbors that kids are climbing the fence ence near the playground on 36th Avenue and getting caught by their clothing. Please ask your kids to take the extra time to access the playground by walking to an opening.

Important Phone Numbers: Numbers Wilshire Park School Office: 612.706.1200 Attendance Line: 612.706.1204 1 Bus Company: Metropolitan Transportation Network: 763.571.1541 Sincerely, Kari Page, Principal [email protected] Farewell From Our Retirees: From Susan Boatman, ACHIEVE Program Thank you, Wilshire Park parents, for sharing your creative thinkers with me as I culminate a teaching career of 36 action-filled years. For the past nine years Wilshire Park has been my home and focus through the ACHIEVE program. I have enjoyed meeting you and working with your students through creative thinking classes, intellectual units, math leagues, the Creativity Fair, Destination Imagination, summer programs and other learning opportunities. Now in retirement, I too, plan to have my own ideas and be creative! Gardening and cycling, children and grandchildren, travel and adventure already plot the new lesson plan. However, as always, I leave a few hopeful blank spaces for surprises. Nine years ago, Wilshire Park pandas, proved to be the "wonderful new surprise." Thank you for being a part of my journey! From Donna Eastman, Grade 5 Teacher I have spent my entire teaching career in St. Anthony/New Brighton. I started here right out of college. There were three elementary schools in the district at that time, and I taught in all three of them. I taught 4th grade for two years and 5th grade for three years at Park View Elementary. Park View closed in 1975. Our students were sent to Wilshire Park and our staff was split between Wilshire Park and Silver Oak. I taught 4th grade at Silver Oak for four years until that school also closed. I then moved to Wilshire Park, where I taught 4th grade for four years and 3rd grade for one year. I took a 5 year leave of absence and returned in 1989. Since returning from leave, I have taught 5th grade now for 25 years. I watched this community's determination to continue being an independent district through the years of dwindling population, and then become a district that had to make decisions to add on to their building as enrollment increased. There has always been a strong feeling of pride of the schools by both the community and the staff. This has provided a great environment for the students and for me as a teacher. The strong parent involvement has added to this great environment. Through all these years, I have worked with some amazing students, parents and colleagues. I am looking forward to not setting an alarm every morning or spending so much time in rush hour traffic. I am anticipating new adventures in the next stage of my life. However, I will miss interacting with wonderful people on a daily basis. I want to thank the students and parents for wonderful memories and allowing me to be a part of this community of learners. From Shari Kopesky, Grade 4 Teacher When I came to St. Anthony/New Brighton School District, there were three elementary schools. I started teaching fourth grade at Silver Oak Elementary School. In 1979, Silver Oak Elementary School closed due to declining enrollment. My next teaching assignment was at Wilshire Park Elementary School. I have been teaching fourth grade at Wilshire Park except for one year that I taught third grade. It has been a wonderful experience for me to be a part of this school district. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with so many fantastic students, families, and colleagues. I will always treasure these memories. I am looking forward to many new adventures as I begin the next stage of my life. 2 From Dolly Smyth, Music Specialist I have been teaching music at Wilshire Park for 36 years. Because this is my passion, I have thoroughly enjoyed about helping students to read music, sing, play instruments, listen and move to music and express themselves through creating music. I am deeply inspired as I have watched students recognize their musical talents, develop self-confidence and leadership skills through plays, concerts, recorder playing, conducting, dancing and so many daily activities! I look forward to spending more time with my four grandchildren, playing tennis, golf and traveling. I feel so fortunate to have served this community and I have felt the support of students, parents and staff. As the song goes….”I’ve had the time of my life, and I owe it all to you!” Thank you so much for the privilege of sharing music with all of you!

The 2015-16 School District Calendar was approved at the January 6, 2015 School Board Meeting. Click here for the 2015-16 school district calendar. Classroom Placements for 2015-16 Teachers are beginning to work on making student placements for classes next year. If you would like to provide input on your child’s placement for next year, you may request a Student Placement Form from the school office. We can send you a paper copy or email you a pdf. This is an opportunity to give your child’s teacher feedback about the environment that would suit your child best. Requests for a specific teacher will not be considered. Forms are due in the school office no later than Friday, May 1st. You will be notified in mid-August of your child’s classroom placement for the 2015-16 school year. Are You Planning to Move? If your child will not be attending Wilshire Park School next year, (or in the case of fifth graders, St. Anthony Middle School), please let us know. It is helpful for our planning and as we order materials. We will prepare your child’s records to forward on to his or her new school. Thanks for your help! Safety Hazard: Highcrest Road as Drop-Off/Pick-up Location Please do NOT drop your child off for school on Highcrest Road in front of school or use Highcrest Road as a pickup after school unless you have parked your car in a safe location located southeast from the building on the east side of the street. We are concerned for the safety of students being dropped off on either side of Highcrest directly across from the school with cars stopping and children crossing. Please use the parking lot, Elmwood church or 36th Ave (alongside the playground) for student drop-off. 7 Earth Week Update from the Wilshire Park Ecology Club This week, the Ecology Club sponsored a week-long celebration to raise awareness about what students can do to keep our environment healthy. In addition to student activities, we are also launching a NoIdle campaign in the school parking lot. Children are more vulnerable to the impact of vehicle pollution than adults: • Their lungs are still in the development phase. • They breathe, on average, 50 percent more air per pound of body weight than adults. • They are closer to the ground, and therefore, closer to the exhaust from vehicle tailpipes. Parents who drive students to and from school: Please help us protect our students and our environment by limiting the amount of time you allow your car to idle (motor running) while you wait. Here is a guideline we ask you to follow: 1. When waiting for students to be picked up, all engines should be shut off. 2. All drivers should turn off engines as soon as they arrive at school or when they expect to be parked for more than 30 seconds. 3. If idling is necessary for temperature control (keeping the car warm in the winter), please restrict it to no more than 5 minutes. Thanks for helping us Celebrate Earth Day Every Day!
