This Month at the WIS

Dear 8th Grade Parents, Guardians, and Students,

Please join us at the Wall High School Class of 2030 Information Night taking place Thursday, January 29th at 6:30 PM in the WHS Auditorium. Parents and students will learn more about academic programs, electives, and the scheduling process at WHS. There will be a brief presentation followed by an opportunity to talk to teachers and supervisors from each department. The presentation and materials will be posted to the Class of 2030 Transition Webpage for anyone who cannot attend.

Thank you,

Kevin Davis, WHS Principal

The term “Luggage for Love” refers to charity drives that collect and donate luggage, duffel bags, or suitcases filled with essential items to children in foster care or in crisis. This idea comes from the reality that many children entering foster care must transport all their belongings in plastic garbage bags, which can be demeaning and destabilizing. Providing real luggage instead helps give dignity, comfort, and a sense that they matter. Our goal is for the students at WIS to collect items that can go into these bags and use 2/18 and 2/26 to pack the bags in their Wellness Wednesday homeroom. Finally, we are looking to have selected students (knighted or students of the MPs) to take these items to the outreach building in Bradley Beach to meet with St. James Episcopal Church and CASA representatives who have started the Luggage for Love initiative and will receive our donation for foster children served by CASA of Monmouth and Ocean County at the end of February.

On Friday, January 9, 2026 WIS students participated in the the Unified Game Day at Stockton University, This partnership with Special Olympics New Jersey (SONJ) is a key event with college students (Unified Partners) and community members with and without intellectual disabilities (athletes) to play sports like soccer and basketball as teammates, fostering inclusion, building friendships, and promoting social acceptance through shared sports experiences, often culminating in big games at halftime of Stockton's athletic events.
