Woody's Wrap Up

Hello, WHE Families & Friends! Welcome back to the 2024-25 school year! We are so excited to see our students in the coming weeks. As the world gets ready to kick of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, and we kick off the new school year, let's embrace the Olympic spirit of determination, teamwork, and the pursuit of excellence in the 24-25 school year! Just as athletes train and strive for GOLD, our WHE community will achieve great things through hard work, perseverance, and a positive attitude. Our school is a team, where everyone supports one another, celebrates successes, and learns from challenges. This year, let's GO FOR GOLD by setting ambitious goals, helping each other along the way, and making every day a step towards our personal bests. With the heart of an Olympian, there's nothing we can't achieve together!
