WHS Staff News 11-16-15


The word or hashtag Ownit has become part of Waldwick High School.  Recently a parent brought to my attention that when you search #Ownit on social media you don't always get appropriate results. No one owns hashtags or has exclusive rights to use them but we don't want people thinking Ownit only applies to WHS.  With that said, this weekend I started using #OwnitWHS to represent Waldwick High School and keep our message going.  Sure, anyone can use this new hashtag for something other than WHS related posts, but the goal is to have one specific hashtag that represents what WHS is all about.  We all need to tell our story and share all of the positives and great things going at Waldwick High School.  For those that tweet, please start using #OwnitWHS in your tweets to get the message out and help bring attention to the new hashtag.

If you have not had a chance to give your input on the schedule, please take a few minutes today or tomorrow.
