Our Spirit Stick winner for this week is Mr. Magnafici!
He greets our bus students every morning and sees them onto the bus every afternoon. He makes sure our students are safe, and he may even sneak them a treat or two for the ride home. After bus duty, Mr. M works the front desk to help with the lunch count for our students and they all love having the job of bring their class's bag down to him. We are so lucky to have him here at Washington!

Those interested in volunteering must be available from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on October 29th and should email Erin Grubic at egrubic@dps170.org or call 815-373-4966 by Friday, October 17th.
