Wow, I can’t believe the end of the school year is almost here. It has been a challenging but amazing year. Looking back, I am in awe of the flexibility and perseverance of everyone in our school community. WUES students have exceled in two learning environments, virtual and in-person. Students quickly adapted to the safety protocols to keep everyone healthy and reduce the spread of the virus. For those reasons, they all deserve a big congratulations and thank you. In particular, I want to give a special congratulations to our 5th graders for finishing their time at WUES in an unprecedented time. Because of their hard work, I have no doubt they are ready to take on the challenges of middle school, regardless of which campus they set foot on next fall. Take a look at all the great schools are students will attend next year (based on the info we have to this point).

The threat of a hurricane, a historical snowstorm, and a global pandemic could not stop our teachers from teaching. They had to rethink how they deliver instruction and adjust to serving the needs of virtual and in-person students, and even though it was hard and stressful, they did it with a smile on their face and positive attitude. Please join me in thanking them for all their hard work and going the extra mile.
A big THANK YOU to our PTO President Olivia Benitez for her service and dedication to WUES. She led the PTO during an unparalleled time and supported the entire PTO as they learned to operate in a pandemic. I also want to thank the Executive Board and those of you who chaired committees, as everyone had to rethink how to support the teachers and provide enrichment opportunities in this environment.

That’s a wrap! The school year finishes this week!
I want to take a MOMENT to say THANK YOU to our wonderful school! A HUGE thank you to Principal Disch and our AMAZING teachers and staff for an incredible year! They went above and beyond to keep our campus safe and our kids actively learning. They deserve a much needed break after surviving this unimaginable year. We are both LUCKY and BLESSED to have the WUES faculty and staff caring for our kids.
It has truly been a pleasure to lead the PTO this year. The support our school received this year from the parents, teachers, and administration was incredible. I wish Robyn Goldstein all the best as the incoming PTO President!
I wish you each a WONDERFUL and SAFE summer! Please keep in touch!
