During the month of March, students can read their favorite books and complete 5 of the activities in a row (in any direction) to receive a prize on March 29th.

Every month WES students will learn about a character word. This month, the word of the month is Perseverance.

Perseverance -- being persistent in one's efforts to accomplish a purpose or goal despite difficulty or obstacles; willingness to try again despite mistakes and failures.

Share with your child what perseverance means to you and ask them how they have had to persevere.
