We hope you're enjoying a wonderful summer! As we gear up for the new school year, we have two exciting opportunities for our students and families in early August:
🎨 Calling All WES Artists!
We are looking to brighten up our front office with student artwork!
If your child would like to have their art on display, they can simply create a piece and bring it to the school by August 7, 2025.
Our staff will take care of the rest—no framing or special materials needed!
