2019-2020 Season 4: Episode 2 + 3

** We are sorry for the length of this particular blog as we have been experiencing technical difficulties for the past two weeks. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Hello readers and thank you for a wonderful evening last Thursday night. We saw a lot of smiles from our families and heard a lot of great feedback. As always, we continue to strive to grow in all areas of what we do. We consistently look for new ways to reach our students as we all hope to make a lasting positive impact in their lives. We  hope that you walked away impressed with the energy and excitement that many of our staff displayed.

Mrs. Timmins’ class families ran a special lab!

There was a standing-room-only crowd in the auditorium. If anyone is interested in the slides and message that we share with parents in the presentation you can review them here.

Hopefully folks were able to stop in and pick up some WHS gear at the Sachem Marketplace during the evening!
