SAFETY

The city of Winston-Salem in conjunction with the WSFCS will begin a project to maximize the safety of our playground.  Below is a excerpt from an e-mail that outlines the scope of the project.

  • The city, within the next couple of weeks, will be installing bollards that will be cemented into the ground as an initial safety precaution. I asked Toneq McCulloch, the director of city transportation, to contact me which I’ll forward to you prior to installation. It should be done within the next 2 weeks

2. EBOB (Elementary Battle of the Books)

Does your 4th or 5th grader love to read? Consider joining one of Brunson Elementary's Battle of the Books (EBOB) teams. Students read from a selection of 18 books (http://www.ncslma.org/assets/docs/EBOB/eboblist2014-15.pdf). 

Teams will compete against other classes in a fun, gameshow-like format by answering questions about details from the books in early December. Teams are being formed this month in each of the 4th and 5th grade classrooms. This activity requires minimal after-school meeting time in the Fall semester. 

Interested?  Fill out a participation form provided by your child's homeroom teacher and return by September 23rd. Questions about the program? Contact Mrs. Fidali at dschultz-fidali@wsfcs.k12.nc.us. Parents, interested in volunteering? Contact Jenny Turner at jturner1189@gmail.com.
