Today was a beautiful September day, much like that fateful day in 2001. Today the WE 5th graders also had a history lesson about the events that took place on that day.
9/11 survivor, Robert Matos, who worked in the South Tower of the World Trade Center, so graciously shared his impactful story with our students. He feels incredibly grateful to be alive, and says that one of the most important things he learned from his experiences is that his relationships with family and friends are much more important than any material wealth.
While there was so much tragedy and sadness that day, Robert told the students that we came together as a country to support and help each other. He emphasized to "be kind to each other. In today's world, kindness is needed more than ever."
Robert tells his story to keep the memories alive of the friends and colleagues he lost that day, and also to remind the next generation that by working together, they can help create a better tomorrow.
Thank you, Robert, for being so generous and making a difference with our students.

What an AMAZING way to start our Friday! Thank you to Mrs. Decker and everyone who put in all the hard work to make it a success! Donuts for Grandparents is a great way for our students to spend some time with their grandparents, or someone else very special to them, before the start of the school day. They took pictures, visited, had a donut, and were allowed to walk their students to their classrooms. Thank you to all who came this morning. The W.E. Family is AMAZING and always show up for our students!
