WHPE Update May 2024
"Good to Grow"
Greetings WHPE Members,
Guess what? It's May, where has the school year gone? It’s time for some May madness and a whole lot of fun in the sun (or rain, depending on where you are)!
To all the amazing teachers out there: You've been rocking it all year long, inspiring minds, shaping futures, and keeping those classrooms buzzing with excitement. As May rolls in, take a moment to pat yourselves on the back and bask in the glory of your awesomeness. You deserve it!
And to all you fantastic students: You've been soaking up knowledge, acing tests, and maybe even sneaking in a few naps in between. But hey, that's all part of the learning process, right? As May kicks off, let your inner sunshine shine bright, and let's make some memories that will last a lifetime!
So whether you're gearing up for end-of-year exams, planning epic field days, or just counting down the days until summer break (we're almost there, folks!), let's make this May one to remember. Let's laugh a little louder, learn a little harder, and cherish every moment together. (I might have a senior this year, that I will be missing come fall).
Your challenge this month is to finish strong. You've got this, WHPE!
Sending heaps of sunshine and good vibes your way,
Mary Wentland
WHPE President
