Blood Drive March 23rd - On Friday, March 23rd student council will be hosting a blood drive at Waukesha West. Please see student council members or Mrs. Ortega to get signed up to save some lives!
West Forensics - On Saturday, March 17th Waukesha West hosted the District Level Forensics Festival. Approximately 350 students from 29 schools performed for judges in hopes of earning scores to qualify them for the State Speech Festival at UW Madison in April. West will be sending 23 of our own to the WHSFA State Speech Festival. Way to go West Forensics!!
Senior Vs. Staff Basketball Game - The game will be on Thursday, March 29th. Will the Seniors finally win this year? The faculty keeps getting older but our Senior students are the same age, yet year after year we seem to be unbeatable! I have a strong feeling staff will conquer once again! Please see a recent picture of me in training as I have been working hard all year to be ready for this competition... the picture does not show me clearly, but I am 99% sure that may be me playing for the Waukesha Jazz local team this winter on a 9-foot hoop...
Vaping 101 - We have seen an uptick in vaping occurring within our building at Waukesha West. Students seem to not understand the personal effects or consequences that go along with vaping in school. It is at minimum a suspension from school, loss of vape, and athletic/activities violation.....simply put...it is not worth it. Please click on the linked article below that was sent out to Waukesha South families as well to learn more about vaping.
National Theater Month - March is the "official" National Theater in Our Schools month. In celebration of this month, West drama was fortunate to receive an anonymous donation to upgrade the twenty-five-year-old auditorium sound system that has been barely held together. West has an amazing performing arts program and we are excited to offer a better product for the audience as sound quality will be the best it has been! Thank you to our anonymous donor who was gracious in their giving for the benefit of our students.
