This year's Kindness Project is underway! We are collecting items for families in need. Donate new, unused, and full-sized products during your Language Arts class from November 3rd through November 14th. See the list of acceptable items on the flyers and posters in the hallways and in your Language Arts classroom.
The 7th grade LA class and the 8th grade LA class that earns the most points will receive donuts and golden tickets for their entire LA class! Be sure to check the leaderboard in the English hallway for weekly updates! Anything you can contribute is so helpful and will go directly to a local school family. The West Lafayette High School Drama Club presents All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, based on Robert Fulghum's best-selling books that explore profound life lessons through a series of funny, heartwarming, and insightful stories drawn from everyday life.

A message from WLJSHS Bands
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!

College Application Week is part of College GO! And is a national initiative of the American College Application Campaign (ACAC). The goal is to help high school seniors navigate the college admissions process and ensure each student submits at least one admissions application. Many Indiana universities join in the celebration by taking away their college application fees for a week or longer so that students can apply for free.
