Good evening, Woodson Wave Families, this is Liz Berry with some updates for the coming week. Let’s give a “shout out” to Mrs. Foxwell and Ms. Adams. They are instrumental to the everyday management in PreK-3 classrooms. The students love the two of them. They are such an asset to WES. WAY TO GO, Mrs. Foxwell and Ms. Adams!!
Congratulations to our Students of the Week, both in 5th grade and seniors at WES: Ava Broyles and Marcus Jones. Ava has been a kind and supportive friend; always willing to help her peers when they need it. Marcus consistently embodies the Woodson Way in all that he does. He works hard in the classroom, setting a great example for others with his dedication and effort. Not only is he focused his studies, but he also serves as a positive influence on his peers, encouraging them with his actions and attitude!
