Meet Mrs. Cicchelli: This will be my 26th year at WPES, and it is the school I love so much I brought my very own children here to grow and learn! My kids, Allie (23-recent college graduate and working and living in NYC) and Jack (18-FLHS class of 2023 and college freshman) are grown and happy young people, in part due to their years at WPES. You might see me walking locally in town with my husband, John, and Goldendoodle, Max! Teaching 5th grade and being with students are my passions and I am looking forward to the year ahead!

Meet Mrs. Kurlanzik:  This is my 20th year at WPES, and my 22nd year teaching. Teaching and learning is my passion. I look forward to watching my students grow and learn as they develop into active, connected students. I have my own children, Spencer and Owen,  who attend school in a neighboring district. My husband, Justin, and I expanded our family 3 years ago with the addition of a Labradoodle, we appropriately named Boomer! Connecting with my students is so important to me and I see my students as an extension of my family. West Patent is my home and I am so grateful to be a part of this amazing community!
