Every grade wears a specific color for Field Day, so parents and teachers can easily find each grade. We would like to tie dye t-shirts with our Kindergarteners! We need your help by donating a white t-shirt for your child to tie-dye. You can also donate a pack of white t-shirts, so we can provide a shirt for every student. We will need the shirts by May 28th. Thank you!!

The students will be performing songs, receiving a kindergarten graduation certificate, along with a few more surprises. After the performance, families are invited for light refreshments in front of the WSE entrance.

Please park in the highlighted parking lots for our Kindergarten Celebration. Thank you!

Please make sure your child continues to bring appropriate outside attire. After all, we do live in Michigan!
