Dear Parents:

Mr. Brandmeyer (brandmec@wesclin.org)

Boys Basketball:
Fifth Grade boys interested in trying out for basketball, please stop by the office to sign up. The tryouts for 5th Grade boys will be on 10/8/26 after school in the North gym. You must have a current physical on file BEFORE tryouts.
Water Bottle Donations:
In preparation for an upcoming activity in Fifth Grade Science class, I am asking for donations of clean and empty 16.9 ounce plastic water bottles with lids. Simply send in any bottles with your student for them to drop off in Mr. Brandmeyer's classroom. Thank you in advance for help with this project!
2026-2027 Yearbooks:
Yearbooks for the 2026-2027 school year are now on sale. You can order online at jostens.com/bts/2712090. Personalization options are available.
Classroom Party Money:
If you have not yet turned in $5 for the classroom party funds, please send it in with your child. The funds are used to purchase materials for holiday celebrations as well as classroom incentives.
Popcorn Sales:
Again this year, we will be offering the 4th and 5th grade students the opportunity to purchase a bag of popcorn for $1 during their lunch recess on selected Fridays. New this year, they may also purchase a CapriSun for $1. The next popcorn sale will be Friday, October 9.
Candy Cart:
Fifth graders will have an opportunity to shop from the Candy Cart at the end of the day one Friday of each month. Soda, candy, and gum are $2 and chips, ring pops, blow pops, and airheads are $1. The 5th grade will not be having the Candy Cart in the month of October.
Water Bottles and Snacks:
Students may bring a small snack to have after their 2nd Hour class each day. 2nd Hour ends at 9:43. If your child would like to bring a water bottle, he/she may keep it in his/her locker until snack time. WATER BOTTLES SHOULD CONTAIN WATER ONLY. Please be sure to take the bottle home each night to be cleaned. Snacks should be healthier snacks. Candy will not be considered an acceptable snack.
Warrior Wednesdays:
Each Wednesday has been designated as “Warrior Wednesday.” Be sure to show your school pride by wearing your Wesclin gear. Students and their families are also encouraged to come out and support the various teams throughout the year.
Squishy Toy Reminder:
Unless your child has an accommodation listed in their 504 Plan or IEP, all toys and fidgets (including squishies) should be kept in his or her locker during classes. In many cases, these are becoming more of a distraction than a tool during class. It is highly encouraged that extra toys remain at home to prevent anything from happening to them at school.
Class Website:
Feel free to visit the 5th grade website at https://www.wesclin.org/vnews/display.v/SEC/Middle%20School%7CTeacher%20Pages%3E%3E5th%20Grade for a variety of information including frequently used links, daily homework list, and contact information.
