There’s something special about being recognized once.
But three times or more? That’s star power. ✨
Wylie West Elementary is celebrating its 4th Six Weeks Star Students — and these three Bulldogs have earned the honor three times or more this year for their outstanding behavior in the library.
👏 Payne Brown
👏 Marianne Rollins
👏 Owen Ghergherhchi
Selected by librarian Miss Terri Peters-Soderwall, the Star Student Award recognizes students who lead with respect, responsibility, and kindness during library time. These students show that character counts — even in the quiet corners between bookshelves.
Miss Terri shared how proud she is of the way these students model positive behavior for their peers. And if you’ve ever stepped into the Wylie West library, you know it’s a place where good stories are written every day — including this one.
Way to shine, Bulldogs. It’s great to be a Wylie Bulldog!

School counselors play an essential role at Wylie—supporting academic success, social-emotional growth, and helping students plan for the future.
Take a moment this week to thank a school counselor who’s made a difference. Their impact reaches far beyond the office door. 💜
Due to overnight temperatures and slower thawing than expected, Wylie ISD will begin the school day today with a 2-hour delay.
All buses will also run on a 2-hour delayed schedule.
