On Wednesday, November 13, in the WHS Auditorium, Mike Domitrz of the Center for Respect will be speaking to the student body in two groups - Senior/Junior classes and then Sophomore/Freshmen. This will be the first of two bi-annual presentations arranged and funded by the Whitnall Falcon Booster Club. This speaking engagement was also sponsored in part by agent Joe Krolikowski of American Family Insurance. Joe is a 1979 Whitnall grad and has been generous with both his time and money in helping make this program happen for our students.
The topic of next week's assembly is that of
SAFER Choices
. It is said to be one of the “most inclusive and sought-after school assemblies for taking a safe, age appropriate look at consent, respect in relationships, boundaries, bystander intervention, and working to reduce sexual assault.” You, as parents, will receive an email next week both prior to and post the assembly going into further detail regarding content. This is meant to help you discuss (and encourage!) any questions that your student may have regarding this topic.
For a closer look at what the event is about, please click

to see an interview Mike gave on this timely and important topic last month on TMJ4.

Next week, WMS will be starting a Snack Drive and we need your help. Research shows that students who have increased access to nutritious food are more attentive and perform better in class. Many WMS staff members currently spend their own money to provide snacks to students who are hungry throughout the day. By establishing a snack pantry at school, we can take this responsibility off of staff and help students to return focus to academics. Snacks collected will be available to all students in need, regardless of financial situation. For more information on the drive please see the link below.
