Join the WHS Football Cheer Squad for "Cheerleader for a Day!" Preschool - 8th grade students will get the full game-day experience, cheering with the varsity cheerleaders as the Mustangs take on Paint Valley. For more information and to sign up, visit https://bit.ly/3z4l4jE.
Please see the Preschool Car Rider Update, which starts tomorrow, September 10.
We ask that all preschool families park at the front of the school for morning drop-off, assist their preschoolers out of the car, and walk them to their teacher, who will be waiting by the flagpole. If you are dropping off an older sibling who also attends WES, they may walk up with you and be guided from there.
We hope this slight change in traffic will improve efficiency and reduce congestion during morning drop-off.

Our PBIS Assemblies are always fun! The students cheered on Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Wolfe as they took the stage in inflatable suits to tackle an obstacle course! Jumping Jacks, the chicken dance, and hopscotch, oh my! Their energy and enthusiasm won the competition, and it was a perfect way to celebrate positive behavior goals. Let's keep the positivity going strong!
