spotlight: Our Fabulous WJES PTO
We are so grateful to our amazing WJES PTO! Last Thursday, PTO provied a delicious lunch for the entire WJES faculty and staff!
The 100% Accountable mindset teaches the importance of being responsible for our own happiness and success. Being 100% Accountable means deciding not to be victims of the past and recognizing that the future is not predetermined, so our lives are what we choose in the present moment and each one moving forward. In these lessons, we help students focus on recognizing our fears and excuses. This mindset is about the importance of breaking down barriers and taking responsibility for our thoughts and actions. It also allows us to free our minds and focus our energy on taking the critical steps towards our goals.
WJES students can shop for family and friends at the Holiday Shop!
Items available will cost between $2.00 and $6.00.
Parents- It's helpful to include a list of who your child needs to buy for when you send in money for your child. Cash, check, and debit/credit accepted.
Your child's teacher will let you know what day their class will visit the Holiday Shop!
LOST AND FOUND ITEMS!
Our lost and found items continue to GROW!
