WCH and the PTO would like to send a HUGE "Thank You" to Porter Vigil-Herring for running a successful Family Fun night!

Our students had a fantastic time bouncing in the bounce houses, listening to the DJ, running through the obstacle course, playing the games, getting their faces painted, posing for pictures with the teachers, winning cakes at the cake walk, spraying silly string, hammering with Home Depot, playing Connect 4 with Primrose, playing games with A Plus Credit Union, eating from food trucks (Chi'Lantro, Southside Flying Pizza, KONA) and winning fabulous prizes. It was a fun 2 hours spent hanging out with our WCH community. And we couldn't have done it without the hard work of our WCH parents/teachers:

Suzanne and Hank Kelbaugh - Alex and Ross Wagley - Kristin Brown - Jennifer Brenner - Madiha Marium - Michelle Burns - Michelle Vassar - Kelly Peters - Jessica Walker - Christy Gutt - Leslie Ragland - Barby Schmidt - Erika Martin - Sara Korzen - Donna Wright - Linda Holt - Donna Richardson - Jennifer Delmark - JoAnn Bryan - Amanda Prehn - Melanie Beninga - Alycen Fink - Carolyn Kearn- Katie Thompson - Cathy Seidenberger - Shannon Voges - Sherry Casey - Choi Hicks

Lake Travis ISD will be hosting a vision and hearing certification class for parents interested in obtaining this certification. The certification would enable you to volunteer at the school and help the school nurse with vision and hearing screenings. There is no fee for this class. The class will be held at the Education Development Center on April 5 and April 6 from 8:00 until 3:00 both days. The certification is good for five years and can be used to perform vision and hearing screenings at any school, preschool or day care in the state of Texas.

Please contact our school nurse Mrs. Hensel if you are interested.
