🎉 Teacher Appreciation Week at WES 🍎
Teacher Appreciation Week is a special time each year when we come together to celebrate the incredible educators who make a difference in our children’s lives every single day. Held annually during the first full week of May, this week is dedicated to honoring the teachers and staff who work tirelessly to keep the flame of learning alive through their selfless dedication and unwavering support.
Last year, we had some hootin’ and hollerin’ fun as we showed our appreciation for the amazing WES staff! The week was filled with celebration, including a delicious breakfast 🥞, a catered lunch 🥗, sweet treats and desserts 🍪, raffle prizes 🎁, thoughtful thank-you gifts, and so much more. Thanks to the generosity of over 30 local donors, it was truly an unforgettable week.
Williamsburg is a wonderful place to be, and that’s largely because of the dedicated teachers and staff who pour their time, energy, and heart ❤️ into our students every day.
This year, we’re off to the races with a Kentucky Derby theme! 🏇🌹
We’re excited to celebrate our amazing teachers and staff and would love your help to make it a winning week.
💐 Student Participation Due 5/1:
Students can show their appreciation by coloring and decorating the attached “Derby Rose” and writing a note of thanks to any WES teacher or staff member. These handmade notes truly mean so much—teachers cherish these thoughtful, personal gestures and often keep them for years to come.
Whether you can lend a hand with setup, donations, or serving, we truly appreciate your support in making our teachers feel celebrated. Please click the volunteer link to sign up and get involved!

As they say at the Derby, “And they’re off!”—and we’re off to honor the incredible dedication, care, and heart our teachers bring every single day.
