October 4th is volleyball's Chipotle fundraiser night. Part of the proceeds goes to the volleyball program, so please support the Lady Roos.

You are invited to join the Lady Roo volleyball program in their support of PINK OUT 2016.

Be sure to wear your pink shirt Friday, October 7th for the PINK OUT volleyball game at 5:30 and then head over to Roo Stadium for the PINK OUT football game at 7:30.

WHS Students and Staff: Shirts ordered for PINK OUT 2016 are in and will be available for pick up at the high school during mega-lunch on Tuesday, Oct. 4th and Wednesday, Oct. 5th in the front foyer. If you missed out on ordering your shirt, extras will be available for purchase during pick up times (limited quantity on all sizes and styles, prices range from $15-$22). For additional information, please contact Gina Rogers at (817) 637-0134.

It’s time once again to start preparing for the annual school musical! This year, we will produce the classic, Golden Age musical Guys and Dolls. Auditions will be after school on October 5th and 6th. Check the Call Board outside of the Black Box theatre room located behind the auditorium for sign-ups. Those interested in auditioning will need to prepare a song of their choice and be prepared to learn a short dance combination before they audition. The audition will also consist of a cold read. If you have any questions, ask Mrs. Justice or Mrs. Powell.

Congratulations, Kenzie Ballard!

Kenzie is a senior and at the top of the graduating class of 2017. She will be presented a Letter of Commendation by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. WHS is proud of you, Kenzie.

Students remember that illnesses like colds, flu, mono, and stomach bugs can be passed from one person to another. Here are three quick tips to help keep yourself healthy:

1. Wash your hands

2. Cover your cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve and not your hands

3. Don’t share food or drink

Here is some additional information and healthy reminders for students and their families.

Health Reminders

Proper hygiene is important to remain healthy. Always remember to:

1. Carefully wash hands before and after changing diapers, using the toilet, eating, preparing food, and handling animals.
2. Ensure that small children are washing hands after using the toilet.
3. Regularly disinfect surfaces like doorknobs, countertops, and other high-touch items.

Children and staff with vomiting, fever, or diarrhea should not attend school, childcare, or public activities until 24 hours after symptoms resolve without medication.

Let’s wash those hands and stay well!

Recordatorios de salud

La higiene es importante para mantenerse saludable. Siempre recuerde:

1. La medida preventiva más importante es lavarse cuidadosamente las manos después de ir al baño, cambiar pañales, después de tener contacto con animales y antes de preparar y servir alimentos. Asegúrese de supervisar a los niños pequeños al lavarse las manos después de ir al baño.
2. Asegurar que los niños pequeños están lavando las manos después de ir al baño.
3. Desinfectar regularmente las superficies como perillas de puertas, superficies, y otros artículos de alto contacto.

Niños o empleados con diarrea, vómito y/o con fiebre no deberían asistir a la escuela o guardería hasta que los síntomas hayan desaparecido sin tomar medicamento para diarrea o fiebre por 24 horas.

Vamos a lavarnos las manos para mantenerse saludable!

1. It's going to be FUN!

2. Stretch yourself intellectually

3. Improves communication skills

4. Solid training for future careers
