WES is ALL THAT!

Dear Families,

As we enter the month of December, our campus is filled with excitement, hard work, and gratitude. This time of year gives us a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the growth our students have made so far. They continue to impress us with their curiosity, kindness, and determination each day.

Even with the busy holiday season, learning remains our focus. Please help us finish the semester strong by encouraging consistent attendance, nightly reading, and positive routines at home. Every day of school makes a difference, and your support helps our students shine.

We are grateful for the partnership we share with our families. Thank you for your encouragement, involvement, and trust. From our school family to yours, we wish you a joyful, safe, and restful holiday season.

Motto

#BEST@WES

Turn in your pictures to Mrs. Spoon or the Front Office!

Empathy: the ability to understand and

connect to the feelings of another.

During December we will be discussing the character word empathy. The holidays offer wonderful opportunities to practice empathy at home. Small acts like taking turns, helping a sibling or adult, or noticing when someone needs encouragement are ways children can practice empathy while not in school. Your support and encouragement in modeling EMPATHY helps reinforce these behaviors and helps children carry this positive character trait with them long after the season ends.

We hope you have a very Merry Christmas and would like to thank you for your continued support as we head into the new year.

Rob Helwig and Kelly Brown, Counselors WES
