Purpose Corner - What is "Purpose Corner?" It is mostly the video component of my blog that focuses on things that are happening at West. These things may be part of other communications you have received, but I look to make them more relevant with a personal touch so the community can at least hear me speak about topics if they choose. This week I talk about what we are focused on as a school organization to ensure our students are prepared academically for their future college and/or career experiences. The transcript of the video can be accessed through this link.
Hispanic Heritage Month - National Hispanic Heritage Month is a period from September 15 to October 15 in the United States for recognizing the contributions and influence of Hispanic Americans to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States. Throughout this month, Spanish Club and Latinx Student Union have contributed to creating a series of small events to recognize, learn and celebrate including door decorating which you can enjoy through the pics below!

Freshmen Tailgate - Every year as part of our Freshmen welcome our Ignition mentors plan and invite all 9th-grade students to an All-Freshmen cookout. We grill out for staff and 9th-grade students and have lots of fun games and prizes as well. Everyone is then encouraged to attend the Freshman football game to support them in the stands. It is always a great event for Freshmen and staff to get to meet each other! Below are some pics from the event:
The "Wolverine Wardrobe" - Did you know we have a wardrobe that is open for all students every day, all day here at West? Well now you do... the expectations are to leave it like you found it, which is picked up and orderly. a reminder that it is in room F115 There is a place for hangers after items are shopped for and a place for donations to replenish our stock. We have a process for all lightly used clothing that is donated to be cleaned and displayed. Thank you to everyone who makes this resource successful, below are some pics of what it looks like when you walk in along with the clearly labeled donations and hangar bin...
Epic Proportions - Set in the 1930s, the play tells the story of two brothers, Benny and Phil, who go to the Arizona desert to be extras in the huge Biblical epic Exeunt Omnes. Things move very quickly in this riotous comedy and before you know it, Phil is directing the movie, and Benny is starring in it. To complicate matters further they both fall in love with Louise, the assistant director in charge of the extras. Along the way, there are gladiator battles, the Ten Plagues, and a cast of thousands portrayed by four other actors. Please come support the West End Players as they open on Friday night October 21st and perform throughout the weekend!
