Celebrations
WCHS has successfully executed our first ever Prom! Thank you, Abby Grimaldi, for taking the lead on a wonderful spirit week and dance. From the dazzling decor to the infectious enthusiasm during spirit week, it was a memorable celebration of our school community. Thank you WCHS staff for your willingness to participate in spirit week and chaperone the dance.
Thank you for every note cart, gift, smile and kind word from our families and students for staff appreciation week! Our WAVE team and family community showed our staff so much gratitude this week with breakfast, lunch, chocolate, and a mindfulness room!
Our Second Grade Explorers learned all about the three branches of government which included visits with officials from the Judicial, Executive, and Legislative branches. Thank you to the community members who took time out of their day to be guest speakers and engaged our second graders in this #JoyfulLearning experience.
