Dear Parents/Guardians, Caregivers, and Students:
I am writing to call your attention to a stipulation we have in the 2021-2022 school calendar. It is noted in the calendar that if more than two emergency days are used by February 1st, schools would be open for a full day on Monday, February 21st, which is Presidents’ Day.

Since only two emergency days were used, Wayne Township Public Schools will be closed on Monday, February 21st. The Winter Recess weekend will begin with a minimal day on Friday, February 18th as scheduled.

Crayola Creativity Week took place from January 24 - 30 and this was the inaugural year of this brand new program.

JFK Elementary School participated and enjoyed every moment of the program. Students learned about teamwork, creativity, and experimentation during the challenges. Second graders read "Libby Loves Science" and discussed how teammates work together to solve problems. Students used paper to build 3 different shaped columns and had to determine which column would hold the most books. First graders painted murals that were hung in the school's hallway. Kids of all ages loved creating, responding, presenting, and connecting during Crayola's Creativity Week.

Wayne Valley High School Therapy Dogs
Wayne Valley High School Therapy Dogs
The Wayne Valley School Counseling Department has been lucky enough to welcome a handful of certified therapy dogs monthly (and now bi-monthly) into the school. They've been visited by Hana, Crusader, Dennis, Gavin, and a handful of other pups. WV's own school counselor, Mr. Imperatore, brings his own certified therapy dog, Molly, to the high school during the visits. These pups are certified by Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dogs. This program trains the pups and handlers to visit and create a therapeutic setting in schools, libraries, hospitals, nursing homes, and other places where the joy and love of a dog would be welcomed.

School counselor, Mr. Cheval helped expand this important and popular initiative at Wayne Valley that allows the students to carve out some time during their lunch block to sit and pet the dogs, talk with the handlers, and have a moment of calmness. Their focus narrows on the pup, and all extraneous worry and/or stress is removed for a few minutes.

Throughout the pandemic, with the pressures of virtual learning, the concern of returning to in-person, and the unknowns of the future, having visits from the dogs allowed the students and staff some downtime. The pups have even joined the students and staff for professional development and wellness fairs. With the help of the counselors, they are hoping to continue and grow this program as they have witnessed the benefits to the student body and new opportunities for wellness.
