LITERATI LIBRARY BOOK FAIR

It's the MOST WONDERFUL time of year -- Book Fair time! Our Literati Book Fair is October 27-31- it's always a fun week where kids love getting to shop for new books (& learning how to budget that money a bit in the process). Our goal every year is for EVERY student to shop (click the link for more info on how you can donate to other kiddos). Plus, our library benefits from a portion of the sales!  Below we've listed some quick links of important info and the website with ALLLL the details (including the schedule of when each class will be shopping during school hours.)
Thanks for supporting your readers & our library!

Walk/Bike to School Day - Oct 1!

Get ready to move your feet! Meet Coach Dison & Parent Coordinator Andrew Parker at the Sevier Park Basketball courts at 7:15 AM to walk/bike to WB as a group! This is a great way to build community with friends, get some exercise and foster safe walking/biking practices with your kids. Strollers, scooters, bikes, trikes, wagons are all welcome. This is a city-wide event sponsored by Walk/Bike Nashville so schools across Nashville will be participating in their own walk/bike to school events at the same time! So fun for WB to be connected to something bigger than just our community!

Parents...we need a few of you to volunteer to help keep our kiddos safe on the way to school. Click this link to volunteer: https://tinyurl.com/WalkBikeWB

Volunteer at Touch of Brews!

The Waverly Belmont PTO is hosting a tent at the upcoming Touch of Brews festival in Sevier Park on 10/4/25. The WB tent will have table with crafts for children and a way for community members to donate to the school for Bulldog Bolt. The PTO will also host 2 events throughout the day - Pictures with Belmont and a flower crown making session - Led by Carmen Noel.

Volunteers will help us represent the tent, hand out crafts for kids, and ask for donations from the community. We are requesting 2 representatives for each 2 hour shift and someone willing to be Belmont for 1 hour.

We're excited about this new opportunity to involve the community in the Bulldog Bolt this year! Please help us represent and show out for our amazing school.

UNICYCLE YOUR STUDENTS' CLOTHES! 

As the weather changes and you clean out your student's closets, remember that Waverly Belmont is a UniCycle school! UniCycle is school uniform recycling program that orchestrates the collection and redistribution of gently-used clothing to provide Standard School Attire (SSA) to Metro Schools students who need it. They collect “outgrown, not worn out” items and then distribute them to WB&MNPS students who are in need of SSA approved items!

There is a collection bin just inside the front door of the school waiting to receive your items. Volunteers collect the basket when full, and clothes are carefully screened, cleaned, organized and then sent home to students in need, per request of the HERO staff or other MNPS personnel. This is an amazing way to help other students by passing along cothing items with life left in them!

Also, a quick reminder to have your student check the school Lost and Found for items they may have left behind.  Unclaimed lost-and-found items do make their way to the Unicycle closet if they are not claimed.

WATCH D.O.G.S.® (Dads Of Great Students) is an innovative father involvement program offered by the National Center for Fathering.  This program focuses on safety and education by using the positive influence of fathers and father-figures for a two-fold purpose:  (1) to provide an unobtrusive fathering presence, and (2) to provide a positive and active role-model for students at the school.  Fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers and uncles are asked to spend at least one day at their student's school volunteering.  They will support the school through monitoring the school entrance, assisting with unloading and loading of buses and cars, monitoring the lunch room, or helping in the classroom with a teacher's guidance either working one-on-one or in small groups. Today thousands of school programs world-wide participate in WATCH D.O.G.S.® helping to engage men, inspire children, reduce bullying and enhance the educational environment at school.
