Eagles celebrating Accessibility Week Success!

Congratulations to our Grade 3 ADST students for their outstanding participation in the District Accessibility Design Competition!The students explored what accessibility means and expressed their ideas through thoughtful and creative artwork. Their designs highlighted friendship, belonging, kindness, and the importance of including everyone—celebrating both seen and unseen disabilities.

A special shout-out to Rylan, whose winning design beautifully shares the message that everyone can play together. Her artwork reminds us that inclusion and belonging make our communities stronger.

We are also proud that the entire class received the Class Prize for this contest , and their designs will be featured on the district's Accessibility website.

We are proud of our Eagles for demonstrating creativity, empathy, and a commitment to making everyone feel welcome.Go Eagles go!

🌟 May WKE Soar Awards

So proud of our Eagles for showing kindness, curiosity, leadership, and perseverance every day! 🦅✨
Thank you to our staff, families, and community for helping our learners soar the WKE way. ❤️

Our K–1 learners became little sound scientists this week! 🎶🔍
Using plastic cups, eagles explored how sound changes when we tap, shake, listen, and create vibrations. We discovered loud and soft sounds, high and low sounds, and lots of curious thinking along the way!
Hands-on learning + curiosity + creativity = learning the WKE way 🦅✨

This week, our Eagles had the wonderful opportunity to learn and play the traditional game of Lahal with elders, community members, and knowledge keepers. 🪶✨
Thank you for sharing your time, teachings, and culture with our learners. Learning together the WKE way! 🦅💛
