 We are honored to serve a community that has such a large military population. We appreciate your service, strength and sacrifices for our country. #monthofthemilitarychild
Note from Dr. Sheers
Our school-wide field trip is next week and we are excited! We will go rain or shine, so please plan accordingly.
Thank you to our many parent volunteers who are chaperoning, we appreciate you! Parking at WSES will be limited, so please plan accordingly (carpool, park in the neighborhood, walk, etc.), and be at school at 8:45 a.m.
Students will receive their field trip T-shirt the morning of our trip to put on. Lunches should be packed in a disposable bag.
We will discuss student behavior expectations at school, but it would be helpful if parents reviewed expectations at home to include: stay with your chaperone, listen to the adults, be kind and respectful Mustangs, and leave no trace of a Mustang behind.
We are looking forward to a great trip building community together.

Positivity Project - Week of April 18
This week’s character strength is OPM – Identifying & appreciating the good in others – Identifying and appreciating the good in other people helps you see the world through a more positive -- and less threatening -- lens. If you’re constantly seeing the negative traits of people, you’re going to think the world is comprised of bad people -- and you’re going to operate from a defensive posture. This isn’t to say that we should be naive or see the world, and its people, through “rose-colored glasses”. It’s just that we should strive to understand people’s intent. If you see the good in another, they are likely to see the good in you. Find out more about Identifying & appreciating the good in other by watching this video. Next character strength: Prudence
