Warwick Public Schools is holding a district-wide "dress down" day on Friday, November 14th as part of a Pilgrim student's Capstone project. Staff and students across Warwick Schools are encouraged to wear their favorite sports team apparel or Warwick Vets colors in exchange for a donation. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go toward the student's Capstone project, which memorializes and honors Mr. Jason Almeida, a beloved Warwick Veterans Middle School PE teacher, coach, and alumnus.
Warwick Vets' food pantry is looking for donations. Items can be dropped off at the Guidance office. We are in need of nonperishable items like peanut butter and jelly, pasta and sauce, canned food, rice, cereals, and microwaveable items. A full list is attached in this image.
Monday, November 3rd, students are encouraged to wear purple to raise awareness for sepsis research in memory of former Vets student Gianna Cirella.
Culture Club will be hosting a coat collection drive from November 17th to 26th. They are looking for gently used winter coats of all sizes. These coats will be donated to Hope of Hope in Warwick. They will then distribute them to any community member facing adversity. Donations will be collected in the main lobby during homeroom. Please place coats in a clean trash bag before donating them.

I have been working with the Student Council on getting some monthly theme days to increase school spirit. The first one they requested is a pajama day. I decided we can one per month on the second Wednesday of the month and we will call it “Wacky Wednesday”. The December theme will be “Favorite Sports Team”.
Pajama Day–November 8th
No slippers, pajamas must be school appropriate
Favorite Sports Team Day–December 13th
Yesterday I met with the Student Council and they made their case to allow students to wear costumes on Halloween. They presented guidelines that need to be followed and made a good case. We don’t do very many things for school spirit and I think the students will enjoy this opportunity. I got into this business to work with kids and see them happy. We will allow students to wear costumes with the following guidelines:
No masks
No face paint
No blow up costumes
No props
No weapons
Costume must be school appropriate
Halloween--No costumes are allowed at school on Halloween
