Week of May 21, 2018
Dear WJES Family,
Thank you for a truly wonderful year! As we head into the week of full-out, end of year craziness, take time just to breath and celebrate the amazing growth we have had professionally, as a school family, and the amazing growth you have fostered in your students! As we celebrate with each of our grade levels, take pride in the work we have accomplished together; simultaneously, let’s reflect and share ideas to fuel our summer spirit as we plan and dream for the year ahead.
Thank you to each of you for choosing to pour into the lives of our kids and for believing in the vision. Your beautiful hearts, commitment to kids, and work ethic make WJES a truly special place to be!
Remember to share your highlight from the year in the mailroom, where you will find a basket of note cards, markers. Just jot down a short highlight (signed or anonymous) to be read at our end of year luncheon. This can be something memorable, funny, a favorite, something you learned, or just something that stands out when you reflect on our year.
Happy last week of school!

More information can be found here.
