We're gearing up for our annual recognition of Red Ribbon Week beginning Monday, October 27th!
Red Ribbon Week is an annual alcohol, tobacco, drug, and violence prevention campaign that takes place every October in the United States. Purpose: To educate the public about the dangers of drug use and encourage a drug-free lifestyle, particularly among young people.
Here are the details about our spirit week. Our school counselors are sharing information about the buildings, as well as other ways to celebrate, including poster and essay contests, assemblies, and more!

🦴 Fossil Fun in Third Grade! 🦕
Mrs. Harless’ class has been learning all about fossils! After listening to a read-aloud of Digging Up Dinosaurs by our media specialist, Mrs. Fowler, students got to become fossil hunters themselves — carefully “excavating” chocolate chips from cookies just like real paleontologists. What a fun and tasty way to bring learning to life! 🍪🔍

📚 Students in the Wilco STREAM Academy are busy learning and growing! From phonics and handwriting with Mr. Harden to division strategies with Mrs. Whipple, character lessons with Mrs. Sealy, and homework support with Mrs. Caples there’s learning everywhere! 💙💛 We’re still accepting applications. Apply today!
One of our students got to be the teacher in Mrs. Council and Ms. Dupree's class! She led the class in a review of the story “Say Hello,” asked her classmates what letters were in the title, and even helped introduce our new letters of the week — S and H! We love seeing our students take the lead and shine with confidence! 💫📚✨
In the Month of October, Wilkinson County Schools proudly acknowledge National Bullying Prevention Month and Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We encourage our staff and students to show their support Wednesday, October 22nd and again on Friday, October 24th. 🧡💜
Huge congratulations to three exceptional individuals! The hard work you do and the impact you make daily is appreciated and deserves to be celebrated! Here's just a few words from the students and staff here at WCPES.

Paraprofessional of the Year: Mrs. Jackson-"Approaches every request and challenge with a positive attitude and a commitment to doing what’s best for students."
Support Staff of the Year: Mrs. Fowler-" She thinks outside the box and brings a literacy-rich approach to everything she does, inspiring students to become confident, lifelong readers."

Mrs. Griffin’s Fifth grade ELA students were tasked with creating 3 products to show what they have learned from mentor texts read during Unit 1. Our original choices grew exponentially as students became inspired by each other’s ideas and creativity. Students created visual representations to show what they have learned about theme and character growth through conflict, including posters, slide show presentations, video games, poems, raps, interactive games and displays. This work is displayed in the hallway and is teaching others about the stories we have read, as well as the connections students have made. Among the texts read are: Turning Pages, Because, Say Something, The Cat Man of Aleppo, The Tragic Tale of the Great Auk, Look Both Ways, and the Water Dance.

🌟 Today we celebrate Custodian Appreciation Day! 🌟
Our custodians are the heart of our school—keeping our building safe, clean, and welcoming every single day. From early mornings to late evenings, they work behind the scenes to make sure students and staff have the best environment to learn and grow.
💙 Thank you for all you do, for your hard work, dedication, and care for our school family. We couldn’t do it without you!
Mrs. Johnson may be new to the role but not to the calling!
Her commitment, resilience, and ability deserves to be celebrated this October and everyday after. The work you do is meaningful, impactful, and appreciated!
We’re so lucky to have you!
Here's to your first School Principals Month!

Our students had a wonderful time at our Book Tasting event!
📚 Grades 1–5 sampled a variety of books and ended their “tasting” with a sweet treat.
🍪 Pre-K and Kindergarten students enjoyed a lively read-aloud of The Gingerbread Girl Goes Animal Crackers and were delighted with animal crackers to go along with the story.
It was a fun way to celebrate reading and spark excitement for books across all grade levels!
Thank you to our Media Specialist, Mrs. Fowler, for continuing to shine a light on literacy at WCPES!
