WHS Staff News - Week of 2/12/18



In nine school days it will be March 1. Amazing! I hope everyone gets to enjoy their time off later this week and into next. The break is well deserved. 

For the ninth consecutive year our 9th grade students will be offered the chance to have a free heart screening provided by the Sean Fisher Memorial Foundation. The dates for this year's screening were confirmed on Friday and will take place on April 9 and 10. More details to follow. 


This tweet hit home with me and the connection to what #OwnitWHS is all about. Keep pushing your students to be "uncomfortable" and take them out of their comfort zone when it comes to their learning.  
Important Dates 
Tuesday 2/13 - STRIDES Cafe (Pre-Orders Only)
Wednesday 2/14 - Heroes and Cool Kids Field Trip (Training Session) 
Friday 2/16 - Tuesday 2/20 - Winter Break / No Homework Break 


*Special Event
Thursday 2/15 during Common Lunch - Wellness Speaker on Nutrition/FREE Lunch for all Staff.  
(I am waiting on final confirmation)
