It's Not Too Late to Order Your School Supply Kits!

Get a head start on the 2018-19 school year by purchasing from Campus Survival Kits. Their pre-packaged kits are assembled with all of the supplies requested by your child's teacher. Kits will be delivered to the school prior to our Open House in August and will be waiting for your child in his/her classroom. In addition, based on the percentage of students who order a kit, WSES will be eligible for FREE refills on select supplies next January - that means fewer emails home requesting additional supplies! You can view and order the kits online here.

Summer Reading Bingo Board

WSES Summer Bingo Board

How does it work? Complete at least five of the activities from our Summer Reading Bingo card, then complete the google form to select which activities were chosen. Each book may only count for one entry, but students choose which books to read.

Please complete the google form on our school website by August 21, 2018 or print the bingo card and turn it in to Mrs. Hurley, our librarian, next school year. Questions?  E-mail achurley@fcps.edu. All participants who turn in their summer reading form by the deadline will be entered into a raffle to attend a library party and one lucky raffle winner will also receive a Barnes and Noble gift card.
