From the Desk of Principal Braithwait
This month’s newsletter will be short and sweet. We are nearing the finish line; the students and staff are looking forward to the summer break. As I’m writing this, we are in the process of getting ready for prom, the FFA and Honor’s Banquet, the Spring Concert, Elementary Field Day, and then Graduation. Factor in track meets, golf meets, JH track meets, and semester test, this time of year is crazy busy. Our staff and students do an excellent job of staying the course until the students leave us the 15th and the staff the 16th. And although we are out of school, we still have the golf and track seasons to complete. State Track is May 23rd and 24th, State Golf is May 28th and 29th. I want to thank all of you for allowing me to serve as a principal and boys basketball coach this past year. I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate the support in both areas. I’m often asked how long do you intend to do this principal thing? The answer to that question is that “it depends”. I really like working with Mr. Ferguson (he is seriously as good as it gets as a superintendent),
the school board (Outstanding group of people that are in this to help the students), the staff (True professionals), Kari and Kassie (They are the best), most importantly, I love being around the kids. The reason to retire again would be the driving every day, the weather, following my grandchildren as they participate in high school activities, I’d also like to travel a little bit. Regardless of what happens down the road, I will be here next school year. I look forward to our kids having an excellent summer. Thank you again for trusting us with your children.
Respectfully
Bob Braithwait
FYI: The Wallace Boys Basketball Team will be washing vehicles on Saturday, May 17th. The team
will wash your vehicle from 10:00-2:00 that day. The team will be raising money to use for a new
scholarship, that we have named the Terry Fowler Scholarship, after the legendary Wallace basketball coach. Any extra funds that are generated will be used for things the program would like to have. The team is asking for a free will donation. The car wash will be in front of the fire station.

Jr. High & High School Sports Physicals
All high school students planning on participating in a sport next year will be required to have a sports physical on file. All 6th-8th graders will need a physical as well, as they will all be taking part in sports practice. Physicals completed after May 1 will count towards next year.
To access the printable NSAA physical form (also available in Spanish), head to whscats.org, select documents, then students. There are also copies available in the school office, allowing you to fill out your student's medical information and then take to their physical for the doctor to complete. For online version - here is the link for NSAA physical forms: (https://www.whscats.org/documents/students/47242)
