🎶🐷🐷🐷Tonight’s “3 Piggy Opera” was an oinking success! 🐷🐷🐷🎶 Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Kindergarten and 1st grade music program this evening. Mr. Arno and the entire cast worked hard to produce the most 🥰adorable🥰 version of The Three Little Pigs, and our Deputy Superintendent Mrs. Jamie Synan was our guest narrator. Afterwards, families were invited to explore texture and timbre with bricks, straw, and hay! Great job, everyone!!!

🌎Happy Earth Day!🌱 Our Kinder crew was hard at work today beautifying our campus by doing some school clean up. They found a lot of trash and had a blast making a difference! Thank you to the whole kindergarten team! 🫶

✨Last night was a proud moment for WPE as we celebrated Mrs. Murphy at the 2026-2027 Moore County Teacher of the Year banquet!✨ Taylor Murphy is the teacher for the Autism classroom at West Pine Elementary and is a tireless advocate for students with all kinds of abilities! She leads our EC team with kindness, dedication, and professionalism. She is National Board and ABA Certified with 17 years of experience, and has served as a clinical ABA and a school-wide behavior specialist. Mrs. Murphy is a model of excellence in her profession and a shining example of the best that Moore County Schools has to offer!

🥳Happy Administrative Professionals Day!🥳

📈📊Our amazing Data Manager, Elizabeth Akins, is the smiling face behind our school’s front desk. She manages enrollments, attendance, scheduling, grades, answers phones and the door, and is a spreadsheet ninja! She is the BEST Data Manager in Moore County Schools—professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. She keeps our school operating smoothly every day, and is a joy to have here at WPE!

📄🗄️I’d also like to shout out Meaghen Catlin, who has been helping out in our office with everything from inventory to copy requests and everything in between! We have been without a bookkeeper for quite a while now, and Meaghen stepped up in our school’s time of need. We are so grateful for her support!

💰💸Additional bookkeeper support has been provided by two amazing Central Office staff, Barb Coughlin and Louise Hardy. Barb and Louise have been handling finance and payroll since we have been without a bookkeeper. They have been wonderfully supportive behind the scenes, and our school truly could not function without them

🚌🎒Keeping a school operational takes many people with all kinds of talents—thank you to our Administrative Professionals TEAM of Elizabeth, Meaghen, Barb, and Louise. We love you!!🐾💙💛

🥳Congratulations to ✨Meaghen Catlin,✨ WPE Volunteer of the Year! In her role as our current PTO president, Mrs. Catlin has volunteered hundreds of hours to the staff, students, and families in our school. She is a valuable member of our team and we are so appreciative of all she does to support our school! 🐾🩵💛 🥰
