WTES staff and students want to express our gratitude to all veterans for your service! Happy Veteran's Day!
Miss Bise had the students work on cards and pictures for veterans this past week. Today, she delivered them to veterans at the VA, Beulahland, and Rosewood Nursing Homes, and to veterans present at the Taylor County Senior Center. Thank you to our students and Miss Bise for honoring our veterans!
Thank you, WTES PTO for the sweet treats today!
Thank you to our West Taylor families, after our count for the scarecrow votes we raised another $118.90 to go buy more food to put with the food we collected over the weekend. Your support is ALWAYS amazing!
The winner of our scarecrow voting goes to Disney’s Up.
The scarecrows all look wonderful we can’t wait to see what you can come up with next year!

Fun Tip for Families:
Set a positive example by establishing a daily routine of reading a story with your child. Children often take cues from the adults around them, and creating this routine may encourage your child to read independently. Never stop modeling the importance of developing literacy skills!

Fun Tip Friday for Families
One way to improve your child’s literacy skills is to link what is read in the book with real life. For example, if you read a book about the park, take your child to the park and point out the slides, swing sets, etc., that were seen in the book. Check out this short video for ways to support your child.
