🍕🌟 Shout-out to our December Cafeteria Stars — Mrs. Spotz’s Homeroom! 🌟🍕
This fantastic group of students stood out all month by showing excellent manners, positive behavior, and teamwork in the cafeteria. Their hard work paid off with a well-earned pizza party on Friday afternoon, generously provided by Hungry Howie’s Pizza!
Way to lead by example and show what it means to be respectful and responsible. We’re so proud of you, PWES! 💙🤍🍕

This year, the PWES Conservation Club is proudly celebrating its 20th Anniversary 🎉 and has been busy making a big impact over the last three months! 🌱
They kicked things off with their “Clean Schools and Kind Kids” initiative, encouraging everyone to care for our school and the environment. Their first focus was increasing our bird population by creating birdwatching stations 🐦—and thanks to the generosity of many sponsors, they are close to reaching that goal!
The club also brought holiday cheer and natural beauty to our courtyard by decorating it with a stunning Christmas tree 🎄 and designing a beautiful arched entryway filled with butterflies, berries, and greenery 🦋🌿.
This past week, students enjoyed an extraordinary visit to Longwood Gardens, where they explored the gardens in beautiful weather 🌸, learned about the history of the DuPont family, and were inspired by the connection between nature and conservation.
We can’t wait to see all the amazing projects they have planned for the rest of the school year! 💚

The Grinch made a special appearance at arrival, students showed up dressed their best for Fa-la-la Fancy Day, our staff enjoyed a mobile hot chocolate bar ☕, and we celebrated with pizza parties for our food drive and door decorating contest winners 🍕🎉. We also ended the day on a high note with an awesome holiday assembly performance by our Woodbridge High School Performance Ensemble—what a treat! 🎶👏
Please note: the PWES main office will be closed until 8:00 a.m. on Monday, January 5th.
From all of us at PWES, we wish you a wonderful Winter Break and Happy Holidays! ❤️❄️🎁










PWES had a fantastic time participating in the Greenwood and Bridgeville parades—even with a few technical difficulties along the way! 🎄🎶✨
A huge thank you to our amazing School Improvement Team for organizing the float and making sure PWES was represented with pride. We are also so grateful for all of the families and students who joined us, waved, smiled, and helped spread holiday cheer throughout the community. ❤️🎅🎁
It truly takes a village, and these parades were a wonderful reminder of the spirit, joy, and togetherness that make PWES so special. What a memorable way to celebrate the season! 🎄✨







The sweaters were loud, proud, and full of holiday spirit at PWES! 🎄😂
We loved all the creativity and festive fun around the building. Now bring on all those holiday accessories! ✨🎅🧣








Holiday Character Day did not disappoint! 🎄✨
We loved seeing all the festive characters walking the halls today. We can’t wait to see everyone’s Christmas sweaters tomorrow!
And don’t forget—everyone gets to wear jeans thanks to our Food Drive donations! 👖❤️
Speaking of the Food Drive, PWES is proud to be the Food Drive Champions for the second year in a row! Thank you to our amazing families and staff for your generosity and support. 💙🤍🩶
