Hello Warrior Families!
During E & I today students took a quiz to determine what they already knew about Veterans Day and watched a video explaining the evolution of this important day. We honor all those who have served, and we appreciate their sacrifice.

10th Grade Field Trip to CTEC - Monday, November 21
Each school year we partner with C-TEC of Licking County to give students the opportunity to explore career and educational opportunities outside of our WMHS school walls. We will be visiting CTEC with our 10th grade class on Monday, November 21st.
Video that was shared in 10th grade US History Classes for students: CTEC Message to Students
Students selected 2 programs of their choice to shadow during this trip, they will receive lunch at CTEC and will also hear from CTEC Leadership and Peer Mentors about what CTEC can offer.
Students will not need to bring anything with them for this trip; there will be no place at CTEC for them to store their bags. Please encourage them to leave their bags and any unnecessary items at home on this day.
Students who decide to remain at WMHS for the day will follow their schedule like normal - please return the REVERSE PERMISSION SLIP (purple form) given to students in US History classes this week.
We are looking forward to a great trip with our 10th grade students on November 21st!
