WESA makes the news!
May Artist of the Month
The Artist of the month for May is Sonia King. Born in 1953, Sonia King is an active mosaic artist, creating work for art galleries as well as for homes and other buildings. She has exhibited her work around the world. WESA will learn about her and make comparisons to the mural recently completed at WESA in collaboration with Concrete Couch.
May Theme: "Be a Part of the Solution as a Problem Solver"
For May, students will focus on how to be a part of the solution as a problem-solver. As students transition to summer break, they will have more time to practice problem-solving skills. Students often have more time for independence, socialization, and boredom during the summer months! Increased independence, peer interaction, and moments of boredom can be great opportunities for students to practice being a part of the solution by problem-solving.
A note from our Librarian...

Monies are collected to support school wide art projects (mural, painting outside doors, etc.), student/family events (fall festival, bingo, back to school party, t-shirts, etc.), teacher appreciation and scholarships. We appreciate any support you can provide!
WESA PTO purchased a t-shirt for every student to wear on May 5th for the Fund Run!! They are coming home today. Please have your student wear this shirt on Thursday for the Fund Run.
The run will be held on the field behind the WESA playground.
