WHS Staff News - Week of 4/5/16

What a staff we have here at WHS! I was so proud on Monday when I sent over the folder to Dr. Casarico for this year's Teacher of Year nominations, which contained 21 nomination forms.  Fourteen different  staff members were nominated by their colleagues and each one of them is deserving in their own right to represent WHS.   To the nominees, Congratulations!  To the twenty one staff members that took time to write about the special people you work with each day, THANK YOU! #ProudPrincipal 

The banners are back up in the front entrance.  Glad to have them back up.  Thanks to Ms. Sobkowicz and her students for printing them and Mr. Andre for getting them mounted.
