Cub Corner

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Thank you so much for all your fund-raising efforts. We now have a beautiful 6-bay swing set for our students to enjoy at recess. We had a small ribbon-cutting ceremony. Please click to see the video of our current PTA President, Jenniffer Berruecos, and past PTA President, LaRhonda Harden cutting the ribbon.

Due to growth here at WMES we have moved our Lost & Found to a new location in the school! The Lost and Found is now located in the hallway between the Auxiliary Gym and the Main Gym. Students can check the Lost and Found any day of their teacher's choosing when going to and coming from Recess. Parents can check the Lost and Found during school hours where one of our staff members will be glad to escort you to the new location. Remember that all items in the Lost and Found are donated monthly.

Back by popular demand, we will be selling kindness bracelets for $1.00 in the atrium and near the car rider entrance on Thursday, April 25, 2024 and Friday, April 26, 2024 to raise money for our sensory room!

Online yearbook orders are officially closed, but don't fret! There's still time to secure your copy by sending in your order forms along with payment. Don't miss out on capturing these unforgettable memories!

Teacher Appreciation Week is just around the corner! Let's celebrate and honor the dedication and hard work of our educators who shape the minds of our most prized possession – our children.

A list of the teacher's favorite things will be sent out in next week's Cub Corner and through ParentSquare.
