Kindergarten students in Ms. VanMegroet's class are learning about Fall! Students painted leaf ornaments, and learned about pumpkins to get ready for our annual Kindergarten field trip to Holly Fork Farm.



WPES 5th graders entered a transformed music room this week decked out with black lights! This was a Spooky escape room. Students had to solve music puzzles to find the correct code word. They tested their knowledge of rhythms, dynamics, and music vocabulary as they solved clues along the way. Students were engaged and excited!





Celebrating Amy Otey and National School Psychology Week!
During National School Psychology Week, we're shining a spotlight on dedicated professionals like Amy Otey. School psychologists, including Amy, play a vital role in supporting students' learning and overall well-being.
They bring their expertise to the table through assessment, counseling, and intervention, addressing a wide range of educational, emotional, and behavioral needs. Their collaboration with teachers and families is the cornerstone of creating a nurturing and thriving school environment.
Amy, we appreciate everything you do, and we're proud to honor your commitment during this special week!
