We are so proud to share that, thanks to the generosity of our amazing school families, we were able to deliver over 800 lbs of food to the Wilmore Food Pantry! 🙌💛
Your kindness will directly support members of our community, and families will have the opportunity to pick up Thanksgiving Food Boxes at the pantry tomorrow.

It takes the efforts of a whole community to promote a child’s success from cradle to career. Who’s someone in your community who supports children’s success? What do you appreciate about them? #KyFamEngage25

Thank you for helping us make December special for our students, staff, and school family. Your time and support truly make a difference!
Everyone loves to celebrate success! What are some ways that you celebrate success in your family? #KyFamEngage25
Families are children’s first and forever teachers. What’s something that you helped your child learn to do recently? #KyFamEngage25
One of our fun traditions at Wilmore Elementary School is Lunch Visitors Day! Once or twice a month families are invited to share lunch and conversation with their Bear Cubs. Today was special and we couldn't be more thankful for our WES families!
To learn, students need to know they are loved and supported. Share one of your family traditions that shows your children how you love them. #KyFamEngage25
