English students attended "As You Like It" by William Shakespeare, directed by Dr. Christina Ritter at UK last Friday. Seating was on stage and required audience participation! Some WJHS Alumni (now freshmen in college) even stopped by to see Mrs. Grogan, Mrs. Onkst, and Mrs. Wallington at lunch! Experiences like these are what give life to the learning taking place inside our classrooms!

It's National School Psychologist Week (NSPW) and we are blessed with the best! Let's give a big shoutout to our amazing school psychologist, Allison Hardin!
NSPW is a time to recognize the incredible work school psychologists do to support our students' mental health and academic success. From providing counseling and therapy to conducting assessments and developing intervention plans, our school psychologists are essential to creating positive and supportive learning environments. We are so fortunate to have Allison's kind heart, dedication, and expertise in our building for our students and school community. Thank you, Allison!
Today, we honor and thank all of our veterans for their sacrifices and service to our country. Your courage and dedication inspire us all. 🇺🇸
