Prom Safety Tips for Parents and Students

Each year, WJH and WCHS students participate in the American Legion Poppy Poster Contest. Poster designs are submitted to our local American Legion (Watseka) where members of the Legion and Legion Auxiliary pick the winners. These students poster designs were mailed to Springfield where they will compete in the state competition. Last year, we had 3 winners at the state level! Winners are then invited to the American Legion state convention in July where their poster design is recognized in part of the ceremony. We grabbed a pic today of our winners with some of our local American Legion & American Legion Auxiliary members. Pictured from Left to Right: Robyn Butler (WJH/WCHS Art Teacher), Lanna Newman, Fred Bohlmann (Watseka American Legion), Bri Denault, Linda Ping (Legion Auxiliary), Stephanie Barnett, Wyatt Batterman, Christa Holohan, Lyle Kofoot (Watseka American Legion), and Rita Norder (Legion Auxiliary).

He invited students from GRS to spend 2 hours playing games and other music-related activities. He organized parent helpers as well as other WCHS student helpers. There were over 110 students who attended and all had a great time! Great job Anthony and thanks to all the students and parents who helped make it a successful evening!
