If your holiday lights are broken or disused, please consider recycling them through WL ECO! When improperly disposed of, these garlands are estimated to last for almost 500 years in our environment. By leaving them in the designated container in the entry foyer, your old lights will be recycled at no additional cost to you.
We're thankful for the community that stands with us, supports us, and makes our schools stronger!

The Fall Band Concerts are this coming Sunday, October 5 in the auditorium.
The first concert at 2:00 pm will feature the 7th Grade Band and the high school Symphonic Band.
The second concert at 3:30 pm will feature the 8th Grade Band and the high school Wind Ensemble.
Our theme for the fall concert is "Cities and Places", so most of our selections are about or allude to cities and locations in the real world, or perhaps just include a reference in the title.
We appreciate the support, thanks!
