BULLDOG Note 11.13.26

WOW! What an incredible turnout for our Family and Grandparent Academic Night! Our hallways were filled with families, Spike, grandparents, and smiling lil' Bulldog faces. Thank you for spending the evening with us! We hope you enjoyed the opportunity with  your little Bulldogs while participating in the engaging math and writing activities in our classrooms.

Our 2nd graders did an outstanding job during their performance, and we extend a special thank you to our Guitar Club Bulldogs for helping out! 

Congratulations to our 2026 Spelling Bee Champion, Riley, and our runner-up, DaRya. We are incredibly proud of all our classroom finalists who demonstrated confidence throughout the competition.   Riley will represent WYE in the district spelling bee in December.
