This Week at WMES
Week of January 27-31, 2025
Dear WMES families:
Our January can be found here.
Lunar New Year
Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year or Spring Festival, will be celebrated on January 29. It marks the beginning of the Year of the Snake, an animal sign that symbolizes wisdom, intuition, and renewal. It's a time for families to come together, honour their ancestors, and welcome the new year with hopes of prosperity and happiness.
Coming up:
February is Registration Month:
