🎉 What a wonderful first week at Wingate! 🎉 Our students and staff filled the building with excitement, smiles, and positive energy as we began another great school year together! Throughout the week, Mrs. Enriquez & Ms. Mulvihill visited each grade level, spent time getting to know students, and shared special read-alouds centered on important character lessons. It was a wonderful way to remind our students about kindness, perseverance, belonging, and the power of “yet!” A big thank you to our amazing Wingate retirees who returned to welcome our students and staff back to school. Their smiles, signs, and continued love for Wingate made our first day even more special. Once part of the Wingate family, always part of the Wingate family! 💜 Shout out to our PTO for the great drink cart today-much appreciated! #19WESPride #19EveryStudent
