WOW!!! What a summer we have had around here at WHES! All kinds of construction, remodeling, painting, moving, cleaning....whew!!! Our custodians have been working diligently to keep the building clean while we have had electrical work, demolition, re-building, re-placing, etc. Thank you to them for their hard work!!
We have had a lot of changes in the WHES counseling department as well! First, I would like to apologize. The counseling tab on the WHES webpage is very outdated and we are having county wide difficulties accessing them so that they can be changed. I will let you know when they are up and running appropriately so you can view more important info about the WHES School Counseling Department.
The appearance of the counselor cottage has changed as well! Here is the door:
And the windows have had a touch of an upgrade. Safety concerns existed because of the windows looking into the counselor cottage, so we added a touch of the sky!
Next, a little paint goes a long way! Dry erase board paint was used on one of the walls in the counselor cottage so that, when students are at the carpet and learning, this can be utilized to enhance instruction...take a look:
We are going to be putting a lot of emphasis on careers throughout the year during guidance classes. As we walk through the year in our lessons, students will be defining the 16 career clusters and examining carers that fit into these clusters. Take a look at our career wall that has posters about the 16 different career clusters and a bulletin board that has a career spotlight:
Mrs. Donaldson got a new desk as well....take a look:
Last, but certainly not least, new friends have been added to the counselor cottage....and they don't have names yet! The kids are going to help with that! Take a look at our new friends....
Hard to see, but, yes, there are guppies in there! We are looking forward to a fantastic year! Can't wait to see all of you at Open House and the first day of school!!!!
