In art class with Mrs. McClure, students are learning about Native American art. Each class has been crafting suncatchers made with sticks, beads, and fishing line. This project involves knot tying, balancing the sticks, and allowing light to transform the pieces.
Scarecrows need to be taken down by Wednesday please.

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!

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!
