WHS Staff News - Week of 3/26


Student Voice in Action... On Saturday a group of WHS students headed down to Washington, DC to be part of the March for Our Lives event.  So proud of these special young adults that help bring change to our country! 
Big thank you to Mrs. Orlak for putting this together with the help of Mrs. Dojer, Ms. Hummel and Ms. Beck!

How busy hands can alter our brian chemistry 

The episode was all about the brain and this segment discussed the importance of being hands on and how it affects our brain chemistry in a positive, healthy way. In this modern world of technology, it is often best to step back and use our hands again.
