A Note from Dr. Reynolds
WBE Families,
October was a busy month, filled with growing gardens, adding new STEM and technology, as well as giving back to our community. Thank you to everyone who donated items for Burrus Gives Back and also for supporting our school through our popcorn and cookie dough fundraiser. We know this year has looked a little different, but we are working to maintain a normal school environment while your child is in school. They have adjusted to all the changes amazingly. We appreciate your continued support and patience as we all work to provide the best possible learning environment while adhering to the guidelines provided to us. As we enter cold and flu season, please remind your child to wash their hands often and cover their mouths when coughing and sneezing. We will work with them while here to try and keep everyone healthy and happy.
Thank you,
Dr. Reynolds

Book Fair
The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our library beginning October 30th and ending November 10th. Students will only be able to shop during their regular scheduled library class. Even if your student is absent on scheduled day to shop or forgets money, he/she will not be able to shop on any other day. Our goal is to keep classes from mingling together. You do have the option to shop online.
The link below will take you to our school’s Book Fair homepage. From here, you can access the online Scholastic Store. All items bought online will be shipped to your home. The day your student will come to the Book Fair will also be on our homepage. Students who are scheduled to come on November 3rd have been rescheduled since there is no school for Election Day.
