WHS Community Blood Drive Event!
Congrats to both our Boys and Girls Basketball Teams for their victories over St. Michael's last night on Senior Night. We will miss our soon to be graduates and thank them for their contributions to WHS Athletics! #VikingProud #GoVikes
Soon, our teams head to Regionals and possibly even state. Currently, the Boys are ranked 20th in 1A and the girls #8. St. Michael girls were # 3 in 1A! A great upset victory at home on Senior Night for the Lady Vikes!
Valentine's Day is coming soon. Many classes are participating in a Valentine's exchange. If your child's class is, and you are purchasing cards, please save any extras and send them to WEMS. Also, if you are in need of V-Day cards, please see Mr. Wollman, he may have extras.
