Dear Families,I hope you enjoyed the February break with your children. I am delighted to be back at school, I was out for several weeks due to an injury. While I was out I truly missed WHS! March 2nd is Dr. Seuss’ Birthday. In many classes your child will be taking part in events to celebrate reading. There are several opportunities this coming weekend to attend a basketball game either at Yale or QU.
Thank you for being our partner in your child’s education!
