The 21-22 HS Yearbook is now available to order. Students can turn in order forms as well as payment (checks made out to WLS) in the office this week or next. This is the best way to guarantee that you get a 21-22 yearbook.

Thank you, Mrs. Smith and Zoology students, for offering a very educational sneak peak to our HS Science Department!
Todd Woodruff helped our second grade teachers get ready for summer with their first ever ‘End of School Auction’!
