Our 6th Grade Student Council members will be hosting a drive to help families whose children are in the hospital. The Ronald McDonald House is a place for families to stay close to their hospitalized child. They provide essentials for families, so the families can focus on what is important- their child! If you are able to donate, please send with your child or drop off at WES. January 26-February 13, 2026.

WES is celebrating Dot Day in a big way. Inspired by Peter Reynolds' book 'The Dot,' students have been practicing positive self talk and encouraging others. September's focus trait is Courage. Our students have the courage to step up in many situations and do the right thing. They have the courage to take the first step in a big challenge or a new experience.
