Tomorrow marks our final day as a Beard Club. During 2nd lunch, barbers from Sho' N' Out in Sherman Park in Milwaukee, will be buzzing some heads, beards and straight blading some us to celebrate our awesome students. Attached is a picture of all the work and marketing that went into reaching our goal and making this a success.
The board of directors from Hope Street (building Shechem Community Center) is also joining us. We have asked the media to show up to tell this great story about Waukesha West coming together to support a positive cause that the majority of us will never use... But will know we helped our Milwaukee area become a better place!
TREK - We have just finished the first semester of TREK which is a Waukesha West personalized learning option for elective credit. Our kids do amazing things everyday and when they have a voice and some choice to take on something they have passion about, they initiate authentic learning. As we look to provide opportunities for students to explore areas and careers, please check out if TREK would be of interest to you by accessing the video link...... TREK Promotional Video
