🌟 December’s Character Strong Trait: Empathy 🌟
This month, WGS is focusing on Empathy—the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. Let’s work together to build a community where kindness, compassion, and understanding thrive. 💛
Check out our Character Strong Family Newsletter for tips on practicing empathy at home.

🌟 Door of Distinction 🌟
This student stands out for being both thoughtful and responsible! While his silly personality brings joy to the classroom, he knows when to settle down and focus on his work. Not only does he excel academically, but he also takes pride in keeping his area and our school clean.
From tidying up messes without being asked to encouraging his classmates to maintain a clean boys' restroom, he leads by example. We're proud to celebrate Rhett's dedication and positive impact on our school community! 🐾 #itsagreatdaytobeabulldog
Zoe is ready to play in the SEKMEA District HS Honor Band at Pitt State! We are proud of your hard work to get here! ##itsagreatdaytobeabulldog

For the fourth year in a row, the class of 2027 has brought in the most food for the food drive! In total, the 6-12 students brought in 615 items!
WGS students had a blast joining WHS for Power Hour! They danced, had student recognitions, tackled Thanksgiving trivia, cheered on HS students in a game, and even got to see Ms. Demeter and Mr. Williams get pie-ed! What a fun way to celebrate together! #itsagreatdaytobeabulldog
🎉 Congratulations to Mr. Williams for winning the Penny Wars at WHS! 🏆 But what’s even wilder? We spotted a turkey with a backpack and a coffee cup showing up for the WGS PE classes! 🦃☕️ Looks like he's ready to strut its stuff—just in time for Thanksgiving break! #itsagreatdaytobeabulldog
NHS Members did some good works today! We went and picked up some supplies for God's Storehouse in Burlington, and the hygiene closets in both WHS and WGS, bringing some much needed goods to others who could use them for our Thanksgiving service project.
This student truly exemplifies what it means to be a PAWS student! 🐾 She always tries her best, helps her classmates and teacher, and is a kind friend to all. Thank you for being an amazing role model, Lottie! 👏✨
