Yearbook Sale!
Did you graduate from WHS? Are you looking for a copy of your Senior Yearbook? Did you misplace or lose your yearbooks? You may be in luck! We have an abundance of archived and newly distributed yearbooks that we do not want to move with the upcoming renovations to the Tech. Ed. area at the High School! All extra yearbooks in our archives up to 2022 are for sale and most are steeply discounted. Proceeds will go towards updating technology and camera equipment for the Print Publications staff.
Find a list of extra yearbooks online at: YEARBOOK SALE LINK to purchase - contact Jeff Willauer at jeffwillauer@waunakee.k12.wi.us. Please put “Yearbook Sale” in the subject line for faster response. Inventory will change as we sell out or find books in random places so please check back often. Books will be sold “as is” and may have some slight cosmetic damage from being stored for many years. All sales will be final.
Peer Tutoring & Writing Center
As we approach the end of the semester, don't forget to utilize the Peer Tutor & Writing Center located inside the LMTC for last minute homework, paper, and study help. Visit the website to schedule a time to see a peer tutor or submit a paper online for their assistance.
Visit the LMTC if you need to destress and relax over the next several weeks. The LMTC has coloring pages and markers/colored pencils. You can also make a snowflake with scissors or our Cricut Maker machine and add it to our window.
