Great news! We have hit our first mini goal of $6k for Shining Star! Did you know that last year with Shining Star funds, our library was able to get a whole new refresh of the Animals book collection? Shining Star dollars go towards books, school resources, events like Fall Picnic, cultural performances (like this Friday's Japanese Magical Journey- pics to follow!) and so much more! 100% of your donation goes back into school programs and activities to help WES.

To continue to be the #1 Magnet Elementary School in the nation and have these wonderful opportunities, we need funds to make that happen. We go to a public school, and have opportunities and amazing teachers that many other public schools do not. We need to reach our goal of $20k in order to maintain the programs and activities we have. We are at $6k now and have less than 2 weeks to get to our goal. Any amount helps!!! Thank you for all your support to Washington and our kids!
