🎉 Pep Rally Fun at WES! We are SC Ready🎉

This past Friday, May 1st, our 3rd graders geared up for SCReady testing with an exciting and energetic pep rally! 💪📚

We were thrilled to have students from WHS join in on the fun. They shared encouraging words to motivate our students to do their best on SCReady 🙌

Classes also competed in a quick (and very fun!) dodgeball tournament—congratulations to Mrs. Rodenbeck’s class for taking the win! 🏆 To top it all off, the WHS athletes joined Mrs. Rodenbeck’s class for a friendly round of dodgeball, bringing even more excitement to the day! 😄

The celebration ended on a sweet note with ice cream sundaes for everyone, generously provided by the WES PTO. 🍨❤️

Special Thanks to Coach Johnson, the WHS students who helped pep up our 3rd Graders, our wonderful PTO and our fabulous 3rd Grade Teachers.

We’re so proud of our students and know they’re ready to do their best on SCReady this week—go WES! 💙
