PREVIOUS INFORMATION

Link Crew: needs leaders to volunteer to be school ambassadors during the January 3rd District In-Service being hosted at WHS. This will require you to be at WHS on the morning of Tuesday, January 3rd to welcome teachers, organize the morning's events, and help show teachers their way around the building. This opportunity will earn you 5 community service hours and perhaps give you the chance to say hello to one of your favorite former teachers from junior high. Please sign up this week outside Mrs. Olson's room.

Candy Cane Grams: are being sold during both lunches starting this Thursday, December 8, to Thursday, December 15.  The candy cane grams will be delivered this Friday and the following Friday, depending on when ordered.  One gram is $1 and we have a special of 3 grams for $2.  Please know your recipient's 5^th period teacher's room number

The Annual WHS Holiday Food Drive: is going on now through Friday, December 16th. Please donate healthy, non-perishable food items to the box in 3rd period classes.  For a list of recommended food items, please see the flyer on the outside of the collection box.  Honor Society students--you can earn 1 hour of community service for every 25 items--see your 3rd period teacher for a verification slip.  Donations will be collected and counted from 3rd period classes every Wednesday and Friday during the drive.  Principal Criscione has offered his office to store the food, which means that if we collect enough food, we might be able to kick him out of his office!  Last year WHS students and staff donated over 4,000 pounds of food--lets work together to beat that record!  Questions see Mrs. Skone.
