Big Art Day 2023

Ms. Arreando's and Mrs. Vega-Louviere's art classes celebrated Chalk Day 2023 on March 3rd outside the theater area on the sidewalks. Chalk day is a day for students to work with chalk and create colorful chalk images. "Some students planned their designs out in advance and other students created sponatenous designs," said Mrs. Vega-Louviere. However, they decided to express their creativity, the students had a good time soaking up the sun and creating colorful images for all to enjoy. Checkout more pictures on the yearbook IG page @ yearbookswhs.
The senior class, construction crew, led by Mr. C. Luna, did a fabulous job creating Dr. Verstuyft's retirement rocking chair. "It took about a week to build the chair and another two weeks to build the rocker," said Mr. C. Luna. Dr. Verstuyft was able to select the stain and the rest was up to the class. They presented his rocking chair to him on Monday morning, and Dr. Verstuyft will definitely make good use of it!
