Congratulations! West Intermediate’s Evelyn M. recently won third place in Reading Municipal Light Department’s (RMLD) 2011-2012 T-Shirt Contest. As third place winner from Wilmington, Evelyn has won a $50 U. S. savings bond. The winners were selected after the students watched an RMLD conservation video and safety video and drew their ideas on a T-shirt. Images of the winning shirts are displayed on the 2012 RMLD calendar.

West School Council presents
9-11 letters to Safety Officers

In honor of our public safety servants on the 10 year anniversary of 9/11, West students wrote thank you letters to our local police, fire, and EMTs, for keeping us safe every day.  Here, the West Student Council displays some of the letters before presenting them to Lt. Dan Hurley of the WFD, and D.A.R.E. officer Julie Pozzi of the WPD.


 

The MA Dept of Elementary and Secondary Education and MA Dept of Public Health presented the North Intermediate & West Intermediate Schools with Bronze-Level Massachusetts School Wellness Awards.  Both schools scored extremely well of every section of the award.  Coordinated School Health staff members Amy O’Neill and Laura York were impressed with all aspects of each school wellness program, their coordination with school staff and the community, and the way in which they created an exemplary whole-school approach to fostering wellness.  Both schools have gone above and beyond what is required to ensure a safe and healthy learning environment.

Both the North and West Intermediate Schools received a MA School Wellness Award banner of recognition.  The featured wellness program at the West is called “Recess Before Lunch” and the featured wellness program at the North is called “Physically Fit Fridays.”  In these photos from the West, the banner is displayed by Dennis Shaw, West principal; Maureen Travis, West nurse; Laura Stinson, Phys Ed/ Health liaison, Eileen Costello, head of West cafeteria; Doreen Crowe, Nurse Leader; Joanne Benton, Superintendent of Schools; Beth Livermore, West phys ed/ health teacher; and fifth grade students Marisa and Devin.


Nurse's Info for Incoming Fourth Graders

As a parent of an incoming 4th grade student, Mrs. Travis RN BSN, school nurse, wants to make you aware that the Massachusetts Department of Public Health requires all 4th grade students to have a current physical exam on file in the school nurse’s office. This exam may take place between June 1, 2011 and June 1, 2012. Please note this physical exam is not required prior to your child entering 4th grade.

This exam may be done by your child’s personal physician.  However, your child may have a health screening performed by the school physician, Dr. John Sullivan, during the Spring. Mrs. Travis will notify parents when Dr. Sullivan will be coming to the West Intermediate.

Physical exam forms may be downloaded from the school website under “Nurse” or you may use your own physician’s form. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Mrs. Travis directly at 978-694-6025.
