September 4th Edition
Great Week 1!
What a smooth first week! The Web was a special place to be last week! Ms. Shepherd did an awesome job making sure buses ran smooth, Mrs. Twiggs was a rock star in the cafeteria, the office staff was on top of things, the custodians helped out all over the school, and the carpool patrol did work! Thank you teachers and instructional assistants for every proactive measure you took. What a great team effort! It was very heartwarming to walk around campus and see our WIGs in action! Week 2 will bring more highlights!
Awesome job!
Each students counts. Every moment matters.
