Dr. Fuller's Thoughts!
We did it WES! We successfully completed the first week of school!
As we continue to embark on this journey together, I can't help but feel my heart swell with pride. Throughout the past three days, but really the entire summer, the entire WES Staff has been working to gear up for this past week. Teachers, Office Staff, Custodial, Kitchen Staff, Technology, Aides...EVERYONE has been preparing Walkerton Elementary for the return of our students.
I am truly excited to take this journey with our students, parents, teachers, and staff. If we stick together and focus on what is most important, our children, we will have an amazing school year!
The first three days were a resounding success, proven by the hundreds of smiling, laughing students we had throughout Walkerton Elementary!
Enjoy the weekend WES Families, and we will see everyone Monday morning!
