Gene Barretta Promo.jpg

Local award-winning children's book author/illustrator Gene Barretta will visit with 3rd-5th graders at WES on Friday, February 21st, to share his book Now & Ben: The Modern Inventions of Benjamin Franklin. Signed and personalized copies of Now & Ben are available to order here until Wednesday, February 19th. Purchased books will be sent home in your child's backpack. We have partnered with Children's Book World to fulfill book orders and 20% from our sales will go to the WES PTO!  

Once again, WES students will be participating in a school-wide community service project as part of their classroom Valentine’s Day parties on Thursday, February 13th. During their parties, students will be drawing pictures to be delivered with “Breakfast Bags” for Caring for Friends, a Philadelphia non-profit organization that provides free home-cooked meals to isolated, homebound individuals. They will then assemble the breakfast bags with donated food items and the pictures they make during the class parties.​

​

We hope our students will not only have fun with this project but also feel good about working together to help others.  Thank you for your support!
