WDPS Happenings - May Edition - Please Read
|
Throughout the month of May, Washington Drive Primary School is proud to highlight the importance of mental health and wellness. Our WDPS school community is encouraged to wear green every Friday to show support. Green represents hope, kindness, and a commitment to caring for one another.
By wearing green, we can help promote kindness, build awareness, and show our WDPS pride! We invite all staff and students to join us each Friday in May (starting tomorrow!) to send a strong message: mental health matters.

Together, we can help our students feel safe, supported, and proud to be part of our WDPS community.
May is also Food Allergy Awareness Month
At Washington Drive, we encourage our students to be mindful of allergies to better understand their peers' experiences. Being aware helps us create a school environment that is inclusive, compassionate, and safe for everyone.
💚At WDPS, we lead with kindness and care for one another every day.
