WES Families,
Thank you for all of your support of the activities at WES this week! There will be no school on Monday, October 14th for a staff workday.
Please Help With Learning
We have noticed an increase in water bottles and lunch boxes being dropped off after arrival time. Please make sure your child has everything before he or she leaves for school. Late arriving items disrupt learning time. Thank you for your help with this.

Reflections National Arts Contest
Weatherstone PTA proudly encourages the opportunity for students to participate in the National PTA Reflections Arts Program. Students in Pre-K through grade 12 are invited to create theme-based artwork in the categories of dance choreography, fil production, literature, musical composition, photography, or visual arts. This competition encourages students to express themselves through artistic exploration by providing positive recognition for their artistic efforts, Since it was founded in 1969 by Mary Lou Anderson, millions of students have benefited from this program.
Submit videos or copies of your artwork and a description of how you are “Accepting Imperfection” to weatherstone.ptainfo@gmail.com by Monday, October 14th! More information can be found here.
