On Thursday, October 23, students were welcomed by the WHS Pride of the Mustangs Band before an energetic PBIS assembly, which reviewed expectations for positive behavior this school year.
To keep the excitement going, our principals faced off in an energetic Principal Showdown! Six students who have consistently demonstrated positive behavior joined in the fun—racing against the clock to toss as many beach balls as possible into the “hoop!”
We also celebrated our spirit stick winners for the quarter: Mrs. Schrader’s Kindergarten class, Mrs. Woods’ 2nd-grade class, and Mrs. Moses’ 5th-grade class. Congratulations!
