"Challenge Day" - What a week it was last week as 300 students and 75 adults volunteered to be part of three days of small group work for "Challenge Day" centered around being real about who we are as people with our celebrations and our struggles. On our fourth day, the entire school was allowed a glimpse into this same mindset, all for the purpose of knowing we all struggle and can relate, and that we must have each other's backs!! Last week has propelled us to do more to support one another and I will continue to showcase what that looks like throughout the course of this school year. For now, I will share with you our West logo (embedded is universal sign language for love) to support the work of "Challenge Day" and some pictures from our all-school assembly, with some great dancing among staff and students!! I encourage anyone to access the Challenge Day website to learn more about it. https://www.challengeday.org/
"State Marching Band" - Though I was out of town and not available to attend the marching band state competition, I had spies everywhere who confirmed what I knew all along, that the Cadets of Waukesha West worked their tails off all year to deliver a dynamite performance once again at Perkins Stadium on the UW-Whitewater college campus. Congratulations to the Cadets, band directors and all the parent/volunteer support for another outstanding season which resulted in multiple first-place finishes in various competitions and a second place finish at the state competition! Way to go Cadets!
"Circle of Friends" - Is one of the many clubs we have at West High School that invites all students to join in and be social together! they most recently went on their annual trip to Skateland for some fun and games! If any students are interested in joining in please contact Mrs. Montanye at bmontany@waukesha.k12.wi.us All West students are welcome!
"Random Acts of Kindness (RAK)" - RAK continues to promote a positive and kind culture throughout the halls of West High School. You will see positive sayings posted on our walls and students lockers, as well as today members providing bracelets to students as a reminder to build a kind and positive school culture! Please enjoy the pictures of the bracelets many West students received today. What a great reminder to start off your day with a "kind" mindset!
"Principal Purpose" - For anyone who comes into West High School these days you will notice a portable chalkboard like you would see at a local cafe' that is used to advertise for the flavor of the day. This board is not for that purpose but to offer a visual to prompt students to get into a proper mindset. The "Principal Purpose" sign holds a statement or saying for the day, meant for any and all to read and apply as needed in their day. I utilize quotes I find, or possibly hear, and even makeup myself as some possible wisdom for anyone looking. It will be a fixture when I am in the building throughout the school year. Yes, I do keep track of the saying and the date it is shared. Below was my saying for 10/22 as we transition into the Fall season. let this also be a lesson to all students to practice good handwriting skills, as I clearly need better feedback and then practice application!!
Principal Advisory Council - Below are the names of the individuals on the Principal Advisory Council for 2018-2019. We met most recently on Wednesday, October 17th and will continue to meet monthly throughout the school year.
