LENAPE HONORS OUR VETERANS
On Monday, November 13th, Lenape honored our Veterans that came to Lenape and spent the day in all the social studies classes talking to our students about their experiences. We hosted Mr. Alex Horanzy, Pearl Harbor survivor, Lt. Vickers, US Navy in WWII, Mr. Michael Train, Vietnam War Veteran, Mr. Steve Smith, US Navy - Gulf Wars and many more who shared their stories. It was a wonderful day for our staff and students in honoring our Veterans and we thank our Veterans, Dr. Fash, Student Council and History Corp for making this event memorable.

MESSAGE FROM THE WRESTLING COACHES
We, the wrestling coaches at Central Bucks West High School, feel that our job as coaches is twofold: First, we want to help each athlete in our program gain a complete knowledge of the sport of wrestling, their fundamental skills, rules, and the strategy involved in each; second, and more importantly, to develop in each athlete the capacity to successfully compete in the world outside of athletics, to be modest in victory and reflective in defeat and to make sacrifices that this sport and life requires.
We are looking for those student-athletes who would like to take the challenge and participate on our CB West wrestling team. If you are interested in gaining technique, speed, strength and flexibility and mentally create a successful attitude, then we would like to have you participate on this year's wrestling squad.
If you are interested in wrestling this season, please email Coach Romesburg @ sromesbu@cbsd.org
