🎉 What an amazing week at WCES! 🎤 We kicked things off with a Masked Singer contest during the morning announcements and wrapped it up with an exciting House Rally! 🏠
During the rally, our birthday helpers led us in the Pledge and our Dog House Rules before we celebrated our incredible December Students of the Month. Huge congratulations to these hardworking students for their dedication and awesome character! 🏅
We also recognized our Employee of the Month honorees: Mr. Vargas, our Classified Employee of the Month, who amazed us with his guitar skills during the rally 🎸, and Ms. Puttkamer, our Certified Employee of the Month, for her unwavering dedication to our school and the kindergarten team! 🌟
Just when we thought the rally was over... the Grinch made a surprise appearance and kidnapped Dr. B!! 😱 What a memorable way to end the week!
Have a wonderful break, Bulldogs!🎄
We hope everyone has a wonderful winter break!
Thanks to all the creativity and effort put into the Deck the Halls Contest our halls look amazing! Every grade level brought their A-game, and we couldn't be more impressed with the fantastic school spirit and teamwork displays.

The winner will be announced during the House Rally!
