WES has a great deal of Parent-Teacher-Student activities. STEAM is seen throughout the school. Teachers write grants, help PTA earn money, solicit donations and have school-wide fundraisers in order to obtain computers, Ipads, newest books, materials... to give each child the materials they do to meet their optimal learning skills.
