House System
October Challenge - We worked on RESPONSIBILITY. Students had an opportunity to earn a point for their house everyday by making Right Choices and by not receiving a check. Students were encouraged that every day is a new day to be responsible and make right choices. The students did a great job!
- Red (Caring) - won the challenge with 1,680 points!
- Yellow (Respect) - 1,591 points
- Blue (Trustworthiness) and Green (Responsibility) - 1,586
- Orange (Fairness) - 1,550
- Purple (Citizenship) - 1,516
November Challenge - During the last house meeting, students and teachers discussed what it means to give back. The challenge for the month is a Canned Food Drive. Boxes have been set up in the foyer with the house colors. We are collecting Chicken Broth, but will take any canned food. All the cans will be donated to a local food bank. The House with the most canned goods will win the challenge.

Vision - The House System for Wedgeworth will create community by empowering students to have an innovative mindset geared towards a common goal of self-awareness and responsibility in order to strengthen character and serve others.
House Color Day - Every Thursday we are encouraging our students and staff to wear clothes that represent their house color.
