Friday, May 8, 2015 Words From Wilshire is sent via email to 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, I would like to sincerely thank Tara Halverson, our WPPA President for her commitment to our school community at Wilshire Park. I am truly grateful to Tara and to all of you for contributing your time and talent to make Wilshire Park a welcoming community. Most officers are continuing in their role for next year: Tara Halverson, President; Natalie Dougherty, Vice President; Pam Metcalf, Secretary; and Michelle SteinleyBumgarner, treasurer. Laura Oksnevad, Volunteer Coordinator will be handing over her duties to Alisa Bartel for the 2015-16 school year. New ideas and enthusiasm have kept the WPPA group strong, vibrant, and always supporting students at Wilshire Park. If you haven’t made it to a meeting, I would encourage you to check out the group next year in the fall. It is a great way to stay connected to what is happening at Wilshire Park. Welcome Grandparents! The evening of Tuesday, May 12th, grandparents are invited to come to Wilshire Park with their grandchild. Classrooms will be open from 5:30-6:30 p.m. and a short activity will be planned in the room for students and their grandparents (or special adult friend). At 6:30 p.m. parents may join the fun with our annual ice cream social, art show, Scholastic Book Fair, bicycle helmet sale and used book swap. Students will be able to show off their classrooms and desks to grandparents until 6:30 p.m. and then from 6:30-7:30 p.m. invite their grandparent or special adult friend to stroll the hallways with them while enjoying free Culvers custard and the incredible art on display throughout the building. Parents are also invited to the Ice Cream Social and Art Show from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Please give grandparents the information and attached flyer so they can plan on attending the evening of Tuesday, May 12th. Parking on Tuesday evening is going to be a bit challenging due to nearby road construction. Elmwood Church at 3615 Chelmsford Road is kindly allowing us to use their parking lot for overflow parking. Please plan to carpool if possible and consider dropping off grandparents near Door 1, 2, or 3 and park at Elmwood Church or side streets where there isn’t construction happening. Be advised that parking on the east side of Highcrest is limited and not signed well that there is no parking for specific areas. We are excited to explore new ways for our students to proudly show their families their classrooms and show off their artistic creations! The end of a school year can be quite a busy time. I have enjoyed seeing our students’ year-end performances with more still to come. I am so proud of our students and it is so fun to see our teachers enjoying these last few weeks with our awesome kids!

If you get a chance, take a walk on the playground to see what joy and opportunity for creativity this has brought to the children. Thank you from Jolene Hodson, Volunteer Coordinator: The Volunteer Event on May 1st was very well-attended! Thank you to our 200 registered volunteers who have logged about 6,400 hours of volunteer help this year! (We still have 4 weeks of school left to go – so keep on coming, please!) Thanks for all you’ve done for our students and Staff. This year our volunteers were treated to an afternoon of painting with artists from Wine and Canvas down in the Village. What a treat it was for all of us to take home a beautiful masterpiece of our own! Wine and Canvas has also been supportive of our own art program here at school, having made art supply donations to Mrs. Frudden for your kids to continue to express themselves! Thank them if you see them around town, or consider spending an evening with them at their studio trying it yourselves! Whether you helped us out in school, at home, or chaperoning our many field trips, I hope you have all enjoyed your volunteer time here this year, and also our “thank you” event. It’s a small way for us to thank you for your countless hours of help over this past school year.

School-based Mental Health Continues to be offered in the District Throughout the Summer Months Summer is quickly approaching and challenges may arise before the school year gets started in the fall. School-based mental health services are available in the summer to help with challenges, if they do arise. School-based mental health therapy is an opportunity available to all students and families in the St. Anthony School District. Two therapists from Nystrom & Associates, Ltd. work in the district to offer individual and family therapy for a variety of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, family change, drug/alcohol use, trauma, peer conflicts, etc. The services are comparable to receiving outpatient therapy in a mental health clinic, but we provide services in the schools to aide in convenience and accessibility. Appointments are scheduled as frequently as needed (typically once a week or every other week). We do our best to accommodate family and student schedules. Like an outpatient clinic visit, we bill each student’s insurance company for services. We also have access to Hennepin County funding which can be utilized for students who are uninsured/underinsured. Since the nature of this work requires we maintain confidentiality, no information will be shared with the school unless we have written permission by the student/parent. Please call or email if interested in these services.

From the Nurse’s Office - Spring Safety As the weather gets warmer, children will be playing outdoors riding bikes, skateboards, scooters, and rollerblading. Children should wear helmets during these kinds of activities. All bike riders should wear helmets (including adults). Children are more likely to wear helmets if they see their parents wearing them. Wearing a helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85%. Make sure helmets fit properly. It should sit level on your head not cocked towards the back of your head. The chin strap should fit snuggly. Use the foam pads to adjust the fit if necessary. If you struggle to get your child to wear a helmet, make it mandatory. If he won’t wear a helmet, he won’t be able to ride the bike. Or make a new family rule: No one rides their bike without a helmet, including the adults. There will be a helmet sale in the Wilshire Park gym on Tuesday, May 12th along with the ice cream social and book fair. Helmets will be $15 for good quality Schwinn Bike helmets. This is a great value! Please see attached flyer for more details.
