Today, WES 4th graders stepped back in time with a visit to Parker Pioneer Homestead near Harrisburg. The Homestead is a recreated 19th-century town where history comes alive through historic buildings, artifacts, and hands-on experiences.
Students had a wonderful time exploring life as it was in the past — and one special highlight was seeing our very own Ms. Deana Bonham join in by playing the fiddle alongside the local band.

WMS: Tuesday, October 7 at 6:00 PM
WES: Monday, October 13 at 5:30 PM
We’ll review our schoolwide plan, parent & family engagement opportunities, and how to partner with us for student success. We hope to see you there!
