ANNOUNCEMENTS

Congratulations to the WHS Winter Winds. The band members capped off their inaugural season with a fine performance at the Winter Winds State Finals. The WHS Winter Winds earned the Bronze Medal.

The band members really worked hard throughout the season. Their scores moved constantly upwards and the comments from the judges were always favorable. Thanks for your effort and cooperation!

The Testing Center will NOT be open during 6th period on Thursday, March 28th due to no PlusTime or Shuttle Buses that day. That leaves only three more Testing Center days before Spring Break! Plan accordingly!

It's that time of year again, and Pennies for Patients is HERE! Pennies for Patients (a competition hosted by your very own Student Government) is a school-wide fundraising event that raises money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, whose mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

March 11 to Friday, March 22, you and your fourth period class will be competing to see who can collect the most change (pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, etc.) to support this cause. But, here's the catch: other classes are allowed to "bomb" or take away your points by placing dollar bills instead of change into your Pennies for Patients box, so be on the lookout for some friendly competition and start collecting your pocket change now!

On Tuesday, March 19th high school students have an opportunity to take advantage of the Skilled Trades Majors & Careers Fair to be held at Carmel High School from 6:30-8:00 p.m. Over 65 professionals, companies, and organizations will represent in-demand, high-wage career options and training opportunities at the fair. The event is FREE, and local high school students and parents in all grade levels are welcome to attend! The event is hosted by Carmel High School’s College & Career Resource Center (CCRC) as a way to provide access to career information for local students.

Students and parents will also be able to attend breakout sessions in order to learn more about in-demand, high-wage careers and related educational and training opportunities. We hope to see you there!
