Dine Out at Chipotle - Nov 20

While there is no perfect cure for your inner clock being distressed that the sun now sets earlier, there are few things that bring pure, uncomplicated happiness like a well-made side of guacamole.  And good works!  Our next PTA Dine-Out is at perennial favorite Chipotle (Rolling Road location).  Join us on Wednesday, November 20th from 4:00 – 8:00 p.m. to support the PTA and nom on tasty burritos. 

When ordering in-store, you will need to show the paper flyer or the digital copy on your phone.  If ordering online for pick-up, use code 62PDGPQ.  Don’t forget, or your order won’t count!  25% of our group’s total sales will be donated to our WSES PTA.  We hope to see you all there.

Walk in My Shoes

Friday, November 22

Walk In My Shoes is a PTA sponsored event where grades 3-6 participate in empathy-building activities designed to teach elementary school-aged children how to be respectful and inclusive of all children, especially those with medical conditions,developmental challenges, or learning differences. The event will include seven stations: ADHD, Dyslexia, Food Allergies, Motor Processing, Visual Impairment, Hearing Impairment, and Communication Disorders. Walk in My Shoes will take place during the school day for children in Grades 3 - 6, but we need parent volunteers to make the event a success.

Please consider signing up for a timeslot here. We are in need of a few more volunteers to make this event a success!
