Our Open House 'event' was very well attended this evening with students, parents, and staff seeming to have a wonderful time together. I'd like to thank our many families for turning out this evening with such enthusiasm. I'd also like to thank the staff of WHS for being such wonderful hosts -- they showed us all a fantastic time!
While I'm thanking people, one goes out to all of the parents who took our technology usage survey and all of our staff who helped to administer it. The preliminary results are very interesting, and encouraging. Final results of the survey will be posted over the weekend.
Additionally, I'd like to share how amazing it was to see the students and staff demonstrating so much pride in their school. Many people have invested a great deal of time and energy over many years to make WHS the fabulous school that it is today, and the school that it will be tomorrow. It was a pleasure to see so many kids and adults beaming over the school and our many accomplishments so far over the few short weeks of this new school year.
Closing out the evening, I was extremely pleased to have the opportunity to speak to our families about the school year start-up, and about one of our initiatives that is generating a great deal of interest and enthusiasm at WHS this year: 21st Century Learning! Below you will find a link to a podcast we made of the presentation (in case you couldn't make it to Open House, or had to leave the event early) -- be patient, it takes a moment to load. As always, many thanks for your support!!
