WES’ Annual Bingo Night is back! Register here!
 
Join us on Friday, January 24 at your choice of two sessions (6pm or 7:30pm). Mr. Fantozzi and Mrs. Gaur will continue their tradition of leading the fun! Dinner is covered, too! Order a cheese pizza in advance (sold by the pie, plain only, must order in advance) to enjoy while you play. Please consider donating gently used books to the bin in the lobby as they are used for prizes. 
 
Advance registration is required as this event usually sells out with the gym capacity. 
 
Don’t forget the raffle tickets! You can purchase raffle basket tickets in advance or during the event to try your chances at one of our great raffles. Among the prizes: Breakfast with Mr. Krall, the perennial favorite “Principal for a Day”, and many more! Prizes will be on display during the event. 3 tickets for $5 or 7 tickets for $10. 50/50 will be sold at the event only. 
Thank you for supporting our WES Community! 
 
Watch for sign-ups to come out soon for the bake sale, event volunteers, and raffle prize donations. Reach out to Jessica Diamond with questions.

Save the date! On Sunday, December 15th  from 1 to 4 pm, the WES Sustainability Committee is hosting a secret holiday shop where kids can purchase small gifts for family and friends. All products are sourced from the school Re-Prize Drive.  Items will be priced 3 for $1.  More details to come!

Last week, the Hour of Code, a national movement to highlight and prioritize coding and programming education, came to WES! If you're interested in seeing the games, or if your kids want to play them at home, they're all available on the WSSD Hour of Code website. Find more coding activities in the enrichment section of the PTO website here

 

Thank you to everyone who took the time out of their day to help make this program a huge success. The kids had a great time and got to learn a lot of coding fundamentals.

 

If you have any questions about the program, the games on the website, or volunteering next year, please contact Bobby Griffin or Marisa Ciarrocki. Thank you!
