Betsy Breeding with Realty One Group Impact was our sponsor for the April Student of the Month program. We are proud of the 8 student winners for finishing the school year as strong as they had started!
A school principal is the head of a school and is in charge of all its daily activities and maintaining its various systems. They have to be confident, diligent, organized, good leaders, effective planners, and competent enough to execute said plans. They also have to be understanding and empathetic in order to maintain peace within the school environment and create an atmosphere that allows students and staff to thrive. Good principals are also responsible towards their community and guide their school in providing as much support to the community as possible. Mr. Heyer, the WJH Principal, is all of this and even more! Our district is so fortunate to have him lead the Junior High. Thank you for all that you do, we appreciate you! Happy Principal's Day!
JH students were able to go roller skating during physical education class Thursday and Friday. Great opportunity for our students to explore alternative physical activities they can do in the community.

On Friday, the WJH participated in the National One Hour of Code during their Math and Science classes. The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to show that anybody can learn the basics and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. It has since become a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science, starting with 1-hour coding activities but expanding to all sorts of community efforts.
