A TIME TO BE THANKFUL!
Dear WES Family,
As we enter November, let’s take a moment to reflect on the incredible work that makes our school community shine. A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Perkins, our front office staff, the admin. team, Coach Ray, and the Community Outreach Committee for their exceptional efforts to make Red Ribbon Week, the Character Parade, and our Awards Program memorable for our students and their families. Your dedication created moments our students will cherish.
We would like to welcome Ms. Marisha Thompson, she is a new instructional aide on our campus. She will support third grade and campus needs. Welcome to the best team in Wharton!
To all staff members who continually go above and beyond, embracing the *We Before Me* vision daily—thank you for the kindness, teamwork, and passion you bring to our school. It’s truly inspiring, and our students benefit immensely from your commitment.
With gratitude,
Venitra Senegal
