The awesome class of 2015!
The class of 2015 might be the youngest members of the WEDJ middle school but that doesn't prevent them from excelling at what they do. For example 5 out of the top 6 readers in our middle school are from the class of 2015. Congratulations to Jeremiah, Raganae, Aliya A, Kniann, and Jakaria for showing everyone how it's done. Readers become leaders. Keep your eye on these students. They are going places!
