The WE school community has been featured in a guest blog post written by WE librarian Alice Reinert and published by The Teen Librarian Toolbox, a blog of the School Library Journal.

The post gives details about the Bucks 4 Books Student Council sponsored fundraiser held every year in conjunction with the school's annual book fair.

Our school community's generosity with this fundraiser has made possible donations to numerous literacy causes-- locally, nationally, and even internationally. It enables us to put our loose change to work, helping others in need around the world!

Thank you to our WE families for supporting this fundraiser and assisting so many others in the process!

On Wednesday, November 11, at 9:00 AM, Wanamaker Elementary will be hosting our annual Veterans Day assembly. This is always a great opportunity for our students to gain a better understanding of the sacrifice our service members have made for our country and to thank those who have served.

As part of the celebration, we would like to invite any family members of our students who are past or active service members to attend as guests of honor. If you or a family member would like to attend, please click the link below to RSVP. We would love to honor you and thank you for your service.

A Target bag was left outside of Mrs. Medlicott's room after the Halloween party. It has two brand new items in it. Let us know in the office if it is yours. You will need to describe what is in it.

All Families are invited to a trunk or treat hosted by the Kansas National Guard. During the event, they will be accepting canned food
donations. All donations will go to the National Guard Food Pantry to help soldiers in need.
Come celebrate Halloween with food, costumes, candy, games and fun activities.
