House System
October House Challenge Winner - will be announced later this week
October House Challenge is RESPONSIBILITY:
One of the areas we will reward students is for attendance. We have chosen certain days to double a student's house point just by being at school. You don't want to miss those special days, so your best bet is to be here everyday!!
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.
Purple - Citizenship (Civismo)
Orange - Fairness (Justicia)
Red - Caring (Bondad)

House Color Day - Every Thursday we are encouraging our students and staff to wear clothes that represent their house color.
