💙✨ National School Counselor Week ✨💙 This week, we celebrate National School Counselor Week and want to give a huge thank you to Mrs. Annette for all she does to make WHE such a special place. She is a dedicated counselor who goes above and beyond to support both students and staff, and we truly appreciate her care, compassion, and commitment each day. Thank you, Mrs. Annette, for all that you do! ❤️ #HNation #Wildcatpride

🌊 Wave Maker of the Week 🌊 Congratulations to Mrs. Pam Lestrade! As our librarian, she fosters a love of reading while going above and beyond to support teachers by extending and enriching curriculum. Mrs. Pam works tirelessly to provide phenomenal book fairs and meaningful opportunities for students. She also teaches computer skills, makes health lessons fun and engaging, and helps lead 4-H activities. No matter the request, she always supports our staff with creativity and enthusiasm. Her dedication to our students and the entire West family is truly admirable. Way to shine, Mrs. Pam! ✨📚 #HNation #Wildcatpride

WHE is partnering with the American Heart Association to participate in the Kids Heart Challenge! Students are encouraged to sign up, complete the missions, and collect donations to help support children with special hearts. This is a great opportunity for our students to stay active, learn about heart health, and make a difference in the lives of others. Thank you for supporting this important cause! ❤️ #HNation #Wildcatpride

🌊 Wave Maker of the Week 🌊 Congratulations to Mrs. Jones! Ms. Jones is a teacher who brings heart to every day and her class is alive with purpose and connection. She has a gift for rallying her students as a team. She creates space for meaningful conversations allowing voices to be heard and stories to be shared. In her class, learning feels personal. With her guidance, students don't just meet the standards; they feel seen, heard, valued, and inspired to grow!

Parents/Guardians, please take a moment to look through our lost and found items. We currently have over 100 items that have been found! If you see something that belongs to your child, please message us or comment, and we will do our best to get it back to them. With the cold temperatures we are experiencing—and will continue to have—we want to make sure everyone has what they need to stay warm. ❤️ Thank you for your help! #HNation #Wildcatpride https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1-mXhDgIOacrdoaqaW1oIS2rZD_ye1HsiVT8F1nzQYoU/edit?slide=id.p#slide=id.p

WHE family, please join us in wishing Mrs. Fausett a happy birthday!

❄️ Weather Update: Delayed Start ❄️
Due to cold morning temperatures, Hancock County School District will start school one hour later than normal on Monday, January 26. This delayed start helps keep students safe and allows time to ensure buses are operating properly so students are not waiting outside in extreme temperatures.
