WES FIELD OF DREAMS
IF WE BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME
If you haven't visited WES, you haven't seen the outside play area. It has become increasingly important that we assist our school in creating a safe, low-maintenance and durable outdoor space. Outdoor play allows students to develop self-confidence, independence & confident self-esteem. Students become aware of limits, boundaries and challenges in their play. When children are used to playing outdoors, they are more likely to: try new activities and make new friends. WES PTO has a vision and we are fundraising and hoping community businesses and our neighbors can help us achieve this!
