November gives us a chance to celebrate a number of important members of the WBSD team, such as:
- November 11 is Veterans Day! You may not be aware, but the WBSD is home to many employees who are also veterans of the United States Armed Forces. We are extremely grateful to these brave men and women who served our country in uniform and now serve our community's children as part of the WBSD team. THANK YOU VETERANS!
- November 4 is National Coach Appreciation Day! Take this opportunity to thank a coach you see doing great work for our students. Employees who also coach devote a great deal of time to go above and beyond to provide ways for our students to develop and highlight their talents in athletics and other co-curricular areas.
- November 8 is National STEM Day! Our STEM teachers inspire kids to pursue and explore their interests in science, technology, engineering, and math. Opening these doors to our students helps prepare them for the innovative opportunities that the 21st-century workplace will provide. Thank you to our STEM teachers!
- November 10 is National Accounting Day! Let's recognize the men and women in our fabulous Finance Department for the behind-the-scenes work they do to manage our nearly $100 million budget. This small team of committed WBSD employees work hard every day to make sure our staff and students have the resources allocated to make the magic happen in our classrooms!
- November 11-15 is National Psychology Awareness Week! This is a chance for us to recognize our school psychologists for the work they do to support teachers, students, and families in the WBSD. We truly could not provide the high level of programming we do without their hard work!
