Our Wildcats are doing some awesome things today!
Our students are learning in so many different ways! Some of our Wildcats are working together in groups and with partners, while others are building their skills independently. And in some classrooms, students are getting an up-close look at the life cycle of baby chicks! 🐣
So much learning, collaboration, and hands-on exploration happening at WCES today!
Way to go, Wildcats! Keep showing that Paw PRIDE every day! 💜💛

🐾 WCES Shout-Out to Our Amazing Teacher Assistants! 💜💛
We want to give a HUGE shout-out to our incredible Teacher Assistants! Ms. Semmens, Ms. Williams, Ms. McNeil, Ms. Rierson, Ms. Young, Ms. Willson, Ms Burgess, Ms. Robbins, and Ms. Lajeunesse, we see the hard work, dedication, and care you give to our students each and every day. We also see all the ways you support our teachers and help make WCES a better place for everyone.

🛑 STOP Means STOP 🛑
Keeping our students safe is everyone’s responsibility. When a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, drivers must STOP and stay stopped.
Passing a stopped school bus isn’t just dangerous—it’s against the law and can have life-changing consequences. A few extra seconds of patience can protect a child’s life.
🚌 See the lights. See the stop arm. STOP.
❤️ Kids ride. Communities thrive.
Please help us spread the word by sharing this important reminder with friends, family, and fellow drivers.

Our students had a bright and educational experience with Bright Star Theater! 🌟 The group presented a fun performance for Duke Energy that taught our students about energy conservation and ways we can all help save energy. Thank you, Bright Star Theater and Duke Energy, for helping our Wildcats learn while having fun! 💡


Our WCES Pre-K students are enjoying some free play outside! Through play, they are learning to share, take turns, communicate with friends, solve problems, and build important social and motor skills—all while having fun!
We love seeing our youngest Wildcats learn, grow, and show their Paw PRIDE! 🐾
