Nov 13-17, the WMHS Student Life committee is hosting a Fall Festival during lunch shifts. There will be games and contests (like pumpkin decorating, races, a cakewalk, and more), yummy concessions you can buy (like Smores, Hot Chocolate, Cupcakes, and more), and a food drive (you could help win your homeroom a breakfast). To prepare for the festival, you can purchase a festival tee and one of those special concessions for just $20. T-shirts can also be purchased with no snack items for $12. The link to pay will be on the online school payment page later today. This is only open this week, so if you want the shirt and special concession price, take care of this asap.

As part of the weeklong “Fall Festival” events, Student Council is hosting a homeroom canned food drive competition. The first period class that donates the most non-perishable food items during the week of November 13-17 will win a breakfast provided by Student Council. Let’s show some holiday spirit by helping out those in our community who are in need this holiday season.
