House System
November Challenge - Our students collected canned goods for the month of November. We collected a total of 595 cans. All the food was taken to Waxahachie Care. Way to give back!
Here are the results:
- Orange - 180
- Red - 128

- Yellow - 93
- Blue - 46

Congratulations to the Orange House!
We will not be having a House Challenge for the month of December. Being that it is December, the focus of the House Meeting will center around Caring/Giving. Houses will discuss what it looks like to show care and how giving to others is important, not just receiving.

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.
