Go Green Project with WPS: Earth day 4.22.25
WHS's Environmental Club teamed up with WPS to teach our Primary Pups how to plant and care for flowers! After caring for their plants and watching them grow, they planted them to create a beautiful school entrance. It was a fun and educational day of hands-on learning, Earth Day-themed books, and valuable life lessons!
Big thanks to Barlow's for the flower donation!

๐ฝ๏ธ Lunch Information
Message Regarding Doordash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, etc.
Please be advised, WHS will not accept food deliveries from services such as DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, etc. for students in our school. While we understand the convenience these services provide, they create significant disruptions within our main office. More importantly, allowing outside food/lunch deliveries raises concerns about the safety and security of our students and staff.
Please note: Parents and guardians are still permitted to drop off lunch for students who may have forgotten their meals. However, we ask that you coordinate these drop-offs directly through our main office to ensure a smooth process.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we prioritize the well-being and security of our school community.
