Last weekend, the UNICEF and Red Cross Clubs came together to host their 2nd annual “Monsters for a Mission” Halloween fundraiser in Bird Park! Over the 2 hour span that the trail was open to the public, over 30 student volunteers came together to interact with Walpole families by offering games, candy, and informational facts about the various missions that both of the organizations work to achieve. Together, the clubs were able to raise an estimated ~$600 that will be split and sent to both organizations! Follow UNICEF’s instagram account (@unicef.whschapter) to catch some of the candid photos during the event!
Additionally, UNICEF will have its next meeting on Monday, November 3rd, after school in Mrs. Hackett’s room (2308), in which the club’s next theme/focus will be announced and the club yearbook photo will be taken! For those interested in joining the club, the Google Classroom code is 6n53b2n. We hope to see you there!
This past month, the Girl Up chapter assembled to explore the theme of “Women’s Representation.” Members successfully took action to raise awareness in the Walpole community by creating advocacy posters around the school for the women’s professional clothing donation drive project, “Fitted for the Future.” At the end of the drive, the chapter collected nearly 17 lbs. of gently-used professional clothing! The donations will be given to women who are re-entering the workforce. Check out Girl Up’s instagram account (@girlup.whschapter) to see updates from our chapter!
Additionally, Girl Up is moving its meetings to most Tuesdays. Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 4th, after school in Mrs. Rafferty’s room (3129). During this meeting, we’ll begin to address our November theme, “Healthy Relationships (in all settings--professional, friendships, etc.), Boundaries, & Title IX Protections,” as well as take the club yearbook! For those interested in joining the club, the Google Classroom code is jp2m4wez. We hope to see you there!
On Wednesday November 12th, the French Club will be going to the middle school at 2:30 to cook and bake with Madame Lucas and the middle school French students.

The cost is $3 per person to cover the cost of ingredients, and students can sign up with Madame Kwasnik in room 1333. Students must have paid their Student Activity Fee in order to participate.
The Spanish Club will be meeting Thursday, November 6th in room 1332.
