Have a great Spring Break!
We will see you on Monday, April 8th.
So many students participated in the March Reading Challenge!
It is amazing to see the students get excited about reading! <3
Here is the April Reading Challenge. It will come home today or Monday, Apr. 8th, in your child's folder.
Don't forget! If you do not have a book that meets the goal of the day, look at getepic.com OR the Bartow County Library, which has thousands of children's eBooks available for checkout through SORA or HOOPLA on their website.
Tomorrow is the last day to purchase a yearbook!
Student hardcover yearbooks are $ 30.00.

Thank you all for your support of WES!
I am going to make an announcement at 2:10 to have all students in grades 2-5th that ride bus 284 to report to the cafeteria for a meeting. Please have them packed up and send at that time.
