W.B. Wicker Elementary School

Happy Fathers Day to our fathers in the W.B. Wicker Elementary School community.

A huge congratulations to our talented W.B. Wicker Dance Troupe for their performance at the annual Juneteenth Celebration on campus! Our students proudly showcased their hard work, dedication, and creativity as they performed to a collection of music by the legendary Michael Jackson. We are incredibly proud of these students for representing our school so well and for helping make our Juneteenth celebration a memorable event for our families and community. Thank you to our dance instructors, families, and supporters who continue to encourage our students to shine both in and out of the classroom.

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 :)
