Cream City Suzuki Strings -  The director for Cream City Suzuki Strings, Julie Bamberger-Roubik, hosted a free concert at Waukesha South High School on Sunday, December 12th. This event was for the entire Waukesha community to attend and enjoy together as she reached out to the school district looking to bring peace and joy to our community after the parade tragedy. Below are the videos of the concert. Thank you to Julie for this thoughtful gesture!!









Waukesha West Marching Band... Hawaii style - The Cadets of Waukesha West had the privilege to travel to Hawaii to be part of the festivities to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The first video is of the Cadets marching to the area in front of the USS Arizona Memorial where they were to perform, followed by a picture of them post-performance. The second video is the parade for the 80th commemoration. The Cadets can be found at the 35:45 mark on the video. I know they had a great trip and were honored at the experiences they were a part of to learn and celebrate our greatest generation!




 






West Jazz Band - We are spoiled to be able to have our talented students perform for us, right at school! Enjoy the video of our Jazz band spreading some holiday cheer with their music:



Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) and Mr. Foley...
Our RAK members sold "Waukesha Strong" ornaments and raised $500 for the Waukesha Community fund. The RAK members made a tree (out of boxes) and pinned the ornaments on it for a display and to spread some cheer. Speaking of spreading cheer... math teacher Mr. Brian Foley is always decked out for our holiday week, and yes his suit coat does have blinking lights on it.... festive!!




One-Act Play Official Recognition - The letter below confirms what we already know, that our West End Players are the most talented students in the State of Wisconsin...
