History In The Making...
Many of our 6th-8th grade students had the opportunity last Wednesday, January 20th to watch the Inauguration all happen LIVE during their classes. Students had the opportunity to see history in the making and to learn more about our nation and the voting system. So many of our students and teachers were particularly impressed with 23-year old Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman's Inauguration poem entitled "The Hill We Climb."
In the days that followed, students had powerful discussions in their ELA classes, where they further analyzed Gorman's poetry and the themes behind the work of this young role model. She reminded us that "there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it; if only we're brave enough to be it." Check out the video of her powerful and inspirational poem HERE. We are so grateful to our dedicated teachers for giving students this incredible opportunity to learn more about our democracy!

WES Dad Alec Lytle’s #1 Folk Song: "Mountain"
Local musician (and WES dad) Alec Lytle has the #1 folk song in the USA for two weeks running. I’m sure this incredible accomplishment is nearly as meaningful to him and his wife Priscilla as hosting the “We love Woodside” concert in May. :) If you haven’t already, download his album Remains of Sunday, it’s a wonderful listen! Congratulations to Alec Lytle and Them Rounders.
