Christmas Clearing Council - The time and energy that goes into sponsoring 69 children for Christmas this year within the Waukesha community is astronomical, but an afterthought for West students, under the guidance and direction of Mrs. Sue Purpi, with great support from Mrs. LeeAnn Dominick orchestrated the fundraising, buying, wrapping, and delivering of gifts to these children thus brightening the Holiday's for these families...thank you for modeling the spirit of giving for the Holiday season!
Arabian Nights - It is a well-known folk tale: King Shahryar, after finding his first wife in the arms of another, murders her and her lover. Left alone, the King decides to marry a new woman each night -- only to kill her in the morning. That is until Scheherezade courageously marries the King and begins telling a wondrous tale each evening and continuing through until dawn -- when she is supposed to be killed, except that the King always allows her to live in order to finish the next story. In this way, she suspends her death sentence for one thousand and one nights, and slowly heals King Shahryar’s broken heart, in the process. Come join us this weekend!!
Student Council Food Drive - The Food Drive is in full swing!! Student Council cannot wait to collect your non-perishable goods to donate to the Waukesha Food Pantry. The collection started Wednesday, December 4th and will end Wednesday, December 18th. You can donate by dropping off non-perishables in the atrium near the front of the main staircase, through your classroom teacher, or directly to room C020. The food is starting to accumulate!! We are hoping to beat last year’s donation record again! Thanks again for helping in the largest donation to the Waukesha Food Pantry every year!
One Act Play - Per usual our West End Players dominated the state competition for 2019 and received the Critic's Choice Award for their play Proof which is the top honor for the festival! The letter below says it all...
See It Live!! - The flyer tells the story of the "See It Live" opportunity to come and check out West High School on December 16th!! Click here to access the sign-up page.
Stretch Class - Our data has been clear at West for the past several years in that 90% of West students state they will go on to a two or four-year college for their post-high school education, yet, only 50% of students will make it past year one and that is why we push as a school to prepare our students better. A big part of preparing students to meet the challenges of the next level is course selection. With course scheduling coming up in a couple of months it is time to think about stretching your academic resume. A stretch class is rigorous, possibly AP or Honors, a class that a college admissions counselor would find impressive, and/or a class that will help you reach your fullest potential as a student. You could also choose to take an additional class instead of a study hall. This is a goal class for you. Think about what content area you excel in and stretch in that area or try something new and challenging!!
