The
IMAGE Reception for the young men in grades 6th, 7th and 8th grade was
a great success. We had a great turn out of male students
with an
adult male. The men of the community showed wonderful support
to
these young men. A special thanks goes out to Cedric Crips (a
former student at WES) who was our special guest speaker.

The Ladies Achieving Dynamic Individual Educational Success (LADIES) Reception was October 2.
