It is NOT luck of the Irish or Draw that at Maude Saunders Elementary, Principal Cindy Neale is front and center teaching students on this half day utilizing every minute of instructional time talking about goal setting, Achievement and Excellence. Simultaneously Mrs. Overby is teaching her STEAM students the Power in working together to Achieve a goal! It is NOT luck of the draw that every Teacher, ESP, and front desk Director of First Impressions Ms. Caldwell has created an environment of excellence for our students. Enjoy your Spring-break, teachers, students, faculty, and staff; You have earned it! EPIC 4wRd!
WCSD is so thankful for those who wear Green Everyday and help keep students, teachers, staff and this community safe! Thanks SRD’s and Guardians who work behind the scene on our campuses!
