A Note from Mrs. Kiernan
What a wonderful week at Wylie! One of the highlights was our annual Wylie Walkers event, where students proudly showcased their Place-Based Education projects and learning from throughout the year. It was inspiring to see students sharing their thinking, discoveries, and stewardship work connected to the community and environment around them. Thank you to all of the families who attended and helped celebrate this meaningful learning experience with our students!
As we head into the final days of the school year, we are looking forward to several exciting events and celebrations. Be sure to check the dates below for upcoming activities and opportunities to celebrate a fantastic year together at Wylie!
