Today’s News:

*Students, did you see all the Naked Turkeys in the building? FCCLA will be selling feathers for 25 cents each during lunch for your teachers. The teacher’s classes with the most feathers will win a delicious prize! All donations will go to children and families in need.

*Seniors: If you have not ordered your cap, gown, stole and tassel from Jostens, please do so as soon as possible. You can still pick up order forms in the counselors office. If you need financial assistance with this purchase, please see Mrs. Yates.

* FFA Members: Your Pig Raffle tickets are due to Mrs. Chase by this Friday! If you do not turn them in you will be charged for them! Winners of the butchered pig will be notified Friday afternoon/evening. There is still time to get tickets! Each winner will get close to 100 pounds of pork, including smoked hams, bacon, pork chops, sausage, roasts and many other cuts!

*WHS Crusader Connections Classes: We are currently looking for 30 WHS Alums who are active military members so that we can send holiday care packages to these individuals . If you know someone who meets these criteria, please let Mrs. Defore or Ms. Ford know as soon as possible.

*The ENTIRE scholars bowl team MUST attend practice TODAY, unless you out for a winter sport.

*This week WHS student council will be sponsoring the annual “Can the Teacher” food drive.  During the week students may bring nonperishable food items to any of their classroom teachers.  The teachers that receive enough cans to fill the doorway up to the door handle will be considered “canned” for that Friday, and will not be allowed to teach.  All food collected will be donated to the Wellington Food Bank.  All donations must be given by the end of the school day Thursday.  Please keep in mind that the purpose of this drive is to help local families in need.

*Seniors have received information regarding the local scholarship application. The deadline for this application is January 11, 2017 at 3:00 pm. Last year over 30 scholarships totaling around $60,000 were awarded to graduation seniors. Also, to be eligible for the selection of the technology giveaway by Steve Sturgis, the graduation senior must complete this application. Only those that do will have an opportunity to receive a laptop at Class Night in May.
