Wildcat Weekly
West Edgecombe Middle School | From the Desk of Dr. Ballard
Charles is such a respectful and active student in his academic environment. His ability to collaborate well within a group and actively participate in classroom discussions in English Language Arts (ELA) is a valuable asset in the learning process. By following school expectations, he is setting a positive example for his peers and creating a conducive academic environment for everyone. These qualities are essential for a successful and productive educational experience.
