Happenings for the Week

WHS News:

  • On Thursday, December 6th - Faculty Desert War took place after school in the cafeteria.  Thanks to Mr. Opderbeck for putting this together and to all the staff members that participated.  The Dessert War was a huge success and raised $450 to help fight child slavery!!         
  • Friday, December 7th over 160 students-athletes will be honored at the Fall Varsity Dinner sponsored by the Booster Club.

  • Third Annual Holiday Luncheon - Friday, December 21st during the Pep Rally 11:30 -12:36pm.  2 hot Entrees: Pasta and ChickenSandwich/Wrap PlatterGreen Salad and Fresh Fruit salad, Water & Soda. We welcome any of your special holiday desserts to share.   RSVP to: Terais McLoughlin or Kerry Gugliemotti
    With payment by Friday, December 14th.  The cost will be $12 per person.  
  • I heard about this website on the radio this morning.  It's called "Secret Sandy," and allows you to secretly donate presents to children who lost their belongings from Hurricane Sandy.  You can choose a particular area to help (for example, if you grew up in the Rockaways, you could select to specifically give a gift to a child from that area), or you could select to help out a particular situation, (for example, if you are a parent of 3 children, you could select to help out a family that also has 3 children).  It's a nice idea if you're looking to do a little good around the holidays!
