It’s 8th grade night for the wrestling team! Come on out to WCHS to cheer them on at 5:00! Student recognition at 4:50.
Everyone at John L. Hensey would like to give a HUGE shout out to the Washington High School Jazz Band.
Thank you for taking the time to come and play for us today!!!
Good morning Beverly Manor Guardians,
Don’t forget that parents must use the drop off lane in the morning and pick up lane in the afternoon. There is no thru traffic (short cut drop off) from 7:30-8:05. During pick up, kids should meet you in the pick up lane away from the bus pick up. Traffic jams aren’t fun, but kids are our priority so safety trumps short cuts.
Thank you!
Congratulations to the Central Trojans! The Wildcats wish you the best of luck as your 7th grade team competes for 3rd place in state and your 8th grade team prepares for state as well. Good luck and go Washington!
Good afternoon District 50 Community,
We strive to make safety a top priority and due to the decreasing temperatures and wind chills set to be as low as -6 degrees this evening, we will be canceling our extracurricular activities (volleyball's away game and the 5th-6th home basketball game)
We understand the frustration as kids are practicing so hard, but we appreciate your understanding in promoting safety.
Thank you and stay warm!

Student Helpers - On a daily basis during the month of February we are focusing in on our Will of a Wildcat pillar of citizenship. Several of our students at our Wildcat Store bought the opportunity to work with our maintenance staff to help keep our building tidy and clean. It is great seeing such young wildcats take great pride in their school and community.

We have been focusing on Citizenship this semester and we have students that love to help out our custodians clean our school. We really enjoying watching students take pride in our school. Way to go Wildcats!!!!
Monkey Joe's Field Trip -
Mr. Zaiser and Mrs. Stewart are extremely overjoyed with how every Wildcat at the field trip showed so much citizenship today at Monkey Joe's. We had lots of parents tell us how well behaved they were and so helpful to their children. We love that they are willing to help little kids in need. Unfortunately, not every student was able to bring money for games but every student that did bring money split up their tickets and every student could bring home a prize. WAY TO GO WILDCATS!!!!
