Dear WES Family,

As we move into November, it's the perfect time to reflect on all that we’re grateful for—our students, our dedicated team, and the supportive families that make our school community thrive. Together, we’re making strides in our "We Before Me" vision, where each team member’s efforts contribute to the growth and success of our students.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Waddell, the Community Outreach Committee, and the Specials teachers for their invaluable support in making our Veterans' Day Program a memorable experience for our community, students, and staff.

We are thrilled to welcome Ms. Cheryl Baines, our new instructional aide in the Life Skills class. Her warm smile and caring approach have already made a wonderful impact on our school and in the classroom!

Let’s continue to uplift one another and work collaboratively toward our shared goals. With gratitude for all your hard work and the positive impact you’re making, let's keep moving forward with purpose and unity. Thank you for all that you do!

With gratitude,

Venitra Senegal

Ms. Busby, we greatly appreciate and value your dedication and positive impact here at WES!
