The Western Wayne Track Foundation, in association with The Wayne Youth Advisory Committee will
be hosting our 7th annual Elementary Grades Track and Field Meet (Grades K-6th) on Saturday, June 23rd at
the Western Wayne High School Athletic Complex. The meet registration will be 9:00am in the morning at the
field house. The field events will begin at 10:00am. Track events will begin at 11:00am.
Track and Field is a great sport in which there are different events for different people. A meet like this
is a great opportunity to find out what you like, and what you can expect to see if you join track in middle and
high school! The Western Wayne Track Program invites you to participate in any events you would like to do.
Events from running, hurdling, jumping, to throws will be available!
The entry fee will be $5.00 for each event, or a flat fee of $15 per child. Registration will be a
notecard drop (as was done last year). When you arrive, you will buy separately, a note card for each
event your child will participate in. Simply fill out the note card and place it into the proper event
envelope at the registration table.
In each event and age group, awards will be given to the top 6 places. Food and beverage will be
available at our concession stand. All money raised from the meet will go to help the Western Wayne Track
Foundation. If you need additional information please contact the Varsity head track Coach Justin Collins.
Either call him (570-947-4866), or email him at cjustin@westernwayne.org. You can also visit the Western
Wayne Track Foundation page on Facebook for additional last minute details.
The address for the Meet is 1970A Easton Turnpike Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania 18436.
Important Meet Tips:
Wear sneakers and comfortable clothing.
Bring your attached participant form.
If wanting to be in a relay, if you don’t have a full team you will
be matched with others who also do not!
Running every race or event is very hard. Choosing 3 or 4 that aren’t
back to back is a better idea.
Rain Date for this meet will be Sunday, June 24th with Registration
starting at Noon.
Waymart, Pa. – Universal Publishing recently presented a certificate of excellence in handwriting to Robert D. Wilson student Kenzie Gregory. Kenzie is a student in Miss Judge’s first-grade class. Kenzie achieved an honorable mention among first-grade entries in Universal Publishing’s 2018 National Handwriting Contest. The handwriting contest rewards students for their exceptional handwriting skills and raises awareness about the importance of handwriting instruction. First-, second-, and third-place winners were selected for each grade in grades K-5 and for grades 6-8 combined, as well as for the new teacher division. Honorable mentions were also awarded in both the student and teacher divisions. Winners were selected from thousands of submissions by public, private, and home school students and teachers from across the nation. When asked about the contest, Universal Publishing president Thomas Wasylyk said, “This is a great way to get students involved and promote excellence in handwriting – a skill used by every student, every day, in every subject. Kenzie should be proud of her achievement!” This year, students completed a two-part entry form in either manuscript (grades K-2) or cursive (grades 3-8) that required writing a provided sentence and answering an open-ended question. Teachers were asked to provide samples of both manuscript and cursive writing for their entries. All participants were judged on their letter formation, size, and spacing; word spacing; line quality; and slant. Judges also considered joinings on cursive entries. For a complete list of winners, visit upub.net/contest.
Third grade students recently received a 3-part guidance lesson series with Ms. Booth, entitled “Brain Works.” Through these lessons, students learned:
– Our skills grow when we form stronger neural connections
– Our brains get smarter when we are challenged (not when things are easy)
– Neuroplasticity: our brains are more malleable than scientists once thought
– Perseverance and grit are important for brain growth and success
These concepts were presented through Power Point presentations, educational videos, class discussion, and hands-on demonstrations. In the photos, students are learning how brain connections start off weak (students holding thread) but with practice grow stronger (students holding rope).
Research shows a strong correlation between the Growth Mindset and student effort/success. For more information visit: www.mindsetworks.com/science/
