All of our teachers are busy getting their classrooms ready for our Dragons! We love this wall art in Ms. Yeutter’s classroom. After all, the WES motto is “Be Kind.”

Our new sign for the circle at the front of the school just went up! A big thank to the Garrison family who won the right to “name” the circle at this year’s Auction Gala.

As we start a new year, we’re looking forward to a year full of light from our students and community.
