This play will leave you dying with laughter as the body count mounts. When you play the Game of Tiaras, you win or you die.

WHS Annual Food & Toy Drive
ECO club is hosting the annual Christmas Food and Toy drive again this year! We are running this as a homeroom competition and hope that you will consider not only helping your homeroom have a chance of winning the Holiday Buffet but also helping sick children at Children's hospital and stocking the shelves at our local food pantry at Alleluia church !
The halls of the high school are filled with flyers that explain:
*Where the donations go
*How the point values work per item and
*the list of needed items at the cooperating hospitals !
*Please be sure that all toy and book items are new as the hospital has sanitation concerns on donated toys! They will accept used DVD movies however!
*New this year!! We are collecting child-themed Pillowcases for the Hospitals! With the flu season in swing, they wash pillowcases more often at Children’s hospital, and are looking for fun, colorful pillow cases. We are calling this : Cases for Kids!! Please consider purchasing a pillowcase of your favorite character or theme to spread joy to other kids!
