Today we celebrate all the amazing moms, grandmothers, guardians, and mother figures who give so much love, strength, and support every single day. 💖

Thank you for the countless ways you care, encourage, and inspire our students to be their very best. Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom, and we are so grateful for all that you do!

🌷 Wishing you a day filled with love, appreciation, and special moments with your families. 🌷

As a community partner of the Tiger’s Den Family Resource, The Lee County Library will have some amazing events happening over the summer. Please review the flyers below and should you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Bri-the Community Schools Coordinator.

Parents, please review the following communication from Mr. Peterson in regards to Field Day: Due to yesterday's rain the field conditions are decent but still pretty wet and risk ruining the equipment needed for the dry games. So, we are pivoting to plan B which will be just water games and popsicles. Please see below for the graphic for your child's scheduled time. Thank you for your flexibility! It should still be a very fun day for our kids :)

REMINDER: FIELD DAY IS THIS FRIDAY, MAY 8TH! 🎉

Your child should be bringing home a flyer with their team color listed. If you don’t see it, no worries—each class will be wearing the same color this year. Just reach out to your child’s teacher to find out what color to wear.

Please note: Water games are part of the fun and students will get soaked! If your child would like to participate, be sure to send a towel and a change of clothes.

We are still in need of parent volunteers to help with Field Day. If you’re available, please contact the school, your child’s teacher, or send a message on Class Dojo. You can also email me directly at codypeterson@lee.k12.nc.us

This week we celebrate the heart of our school—our incredible teachers! 💙
Thank you for inspiring minds, encouraging growth, and shaping futures each and every day. We appreciate you more than words can say! 🍎✨

🎓🐾 Senior Walk Success! 🐾🎓 Today we had the honor of welcoming the seniors from Southern Lee High School for their Senior Walk through W.B. Wicker Elementary School! Our Tigers lined the halls, cheering them on and celebrating all they’ve accomplished. 💙💛 We are especially proud to celebrate our 4 W.B. Wicker graduates who participated today not only as graduates—but as college graduates pursuing advanced degrees, including Master’s and Doctorate programs! What an incredible full-circle moment for our students to see what their future can hold and the many paths to success ahead of them. From elementary hallways to high school graduation—and all the way to advanced degrees—we are so proud of each of you. Your journey is inspiring the next generation of Tigers every step of the way! 🐅💙💛

Students arrive in the morning ready to get a quick Science lesson from Dr. Jett, our AIG teacher on Day 9 of Embryonic development of the chicken. Dr. Jett welcomes in any student at that time to watch the egg process on its 21 day timeline.

On April 30th, W.B. Wicker will shine BLUE 💙 in honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month. As a proud North Carolina Community School, we are committed to supporting the whole child and raising awareness of statewide initiatives that protect and uplift our children 💙.

We invite our W.B. Wicker community and our valued partners at the Tiger’s Den Family Resource Center to join us in this meaningful show of support by wearing any shade of blue tomorrow 💙. Together, we can shine a light, stand strong for our students, and make a powerful statement! 💙

We had a great time at our final Aye Toro Spirit Night this evening. Thank you to everyone who came out to attend! We are appreciative of both of our PTO Community Partners, Aye Toro and Diary Queen for your support of our school.

Happy School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! 🚌💙
Thank you to our amazing drivers who safely transport our W.B. Wicker Tigers each day. We appreciate your dedication, patience, and care! 🐾✨
