The WES Development Office is a bee hive of activity, 12 months of the year! The capstones of our mission are the Annual Fund Campaign in the fall and the Auction Gala in early spring, but our development team also helps coordinate so many events and efforts to build community and improve the experience for all Dragons and WES families. We publish The WES Magazine, the annual report, and the directory and student handbook, coordinate volunteer efforts and the Parents Association, manage the Dragon’s Den, provide photos of daily life at WES, foster relationships with all constituents including Grandparents, coordinate Alumni events and outreach, and plan all special events.
Both Claire and Ali are proud parents of WES graduates (Classes of 2000, 2009, and 2010), and held volunteer leadership positions at WES. Sarah, new to WES this year, is a graduate of Georgetown Visitation and worked at an independent school in Miami, FL. Together, their creativity and experience intersect to guide the WES community though an exciting school year!
