Celebrating Student Learning at WES

This week, families are invited by their grade level teachers to visit the school with your student to celebrate the learning children have been doing this year. These classroom visits also line up with the grades 3-6 music concerts this week. (Pictured above are the second graders who had their music concert the last week of February.) Please visit your grade level website/blog or contact the teachers for information on specific timing. We hope to see many of you at school this week!

WE WANT YOUR REUSABLE BAGS

Do you have extra cloth or canvas grocery bags that are cluttering up your closet? WES and the Woodstock Community Food Shelf will take them. WES and WCFS partner together on weekend food bags for families and can use reusable bags for this ongoing project. Mrs. Klocek will have a box in the lobby for your bag donations. Thank you!
