Our WCES Chorus did an amazing job at the Clayton Tree Lighting.

The Book Fair is well underway and the kids are loving it! It's so fun to see them get excited about shopping and work on their money skills. We could use some help with assisting students as they shop and with running our cash register. If you can spare some time, we would love your help.
