This past week, our Band and Orchestra students took the stage for their Spring Concert, showcasing the incredible talent, dedication, and growth within our music program.
Competition in the Flag Football Tournament also continued as teams battled it out for a spot in next Friday’s championship game.
To round out the week, our GTS crew hosted their second staff BBQ Cookout of the year, bringing everyone together over great food and community.
We look forward to all that is still ahead as we finish the school year strong. Stay tuned for more!
As the week came to a close, tribes were recognized for their unique strengths and contributions:
“Island Spirit” — Malayan Magic for their daily participation in team spirit wear.
“The Relentless Tracker” — Sumatran Spirit for making the biggest attempts at stealing the totem.
“Best Caterer” — GTS Outpost for keeping everyone fueled and energized.
“Survivor Strong” — Siberian Myth for winning the most physical challenges.
“The Early Bird Gets the Worm” — Bengal Blaze for consistently arriving first and getting a head start on daily challenge missions.
While each tribe brought their own strengths, Bengal Blaze went above and beyond - securing the overall win and earning the honor of becoming keepers of the Tiger Totem.
The staff at WJHS are treasures and we hope ever single individual felt encouraged and appreciated for all they do every day.
Last week at WJHS:
- Ms. Carolina and students from Love Library hosted the 1st Book Fair in 9+ years, and we are happy to announce its success. The funds raised will be invested back into our library to purchase more great reads for our students.
- The Flag Football Tournament is heating up as student teams battle weekly for their spot in the Championship Game on Thursday, May 22nd. Stay tuned for more updates.
- We had some great participants for this month's spirit dress up "Minion" day.
Our next and final dress up day will be on May 15th with one of the most favored spirit days of the year, where students get to "bring anything BUT a backpack" to school.
- Students are eager to use their awarded Tiger Tickets at Mrs. Alejandra's "Tiger Cart". This is just another great way to reward our students for embodying the 3- P's: Positive, Productive, Professional.
- Did you know that with proper love and care, ducks can be great companions? Campus Liaison, Mrs. Pat stopped by after school Friday with her beloved duck, "Quackers".
- State testing for students has been going smoothly and we are grateful to our families for their support in ensuring their students are well-prepared. As we close out English testing today, students can prepare for the last test subject - Math, starting tomorrow. After this week, students who have missing sections or days, will have the opportunity for make-ups in May.
Between April 20th through the 24th, students can visit the library during lunch and after school. This event will be open to families after school every day from 2:30-2:45 PM.

Our 8th graders took the top spot for 3rd quarter attendance with an impressive 91.4%! To celebrate their commitment, students enjoyed an extended lunch carnival, a special ice cream treat, and a visit from our local police department.
In the classroom, learning was in full action as Mr. Chimente hosted a fun and interactive science experiment exploring camouflage and survival. Students took on the role of “birds,” searching for different shades of green caterpillars.
We are also proud to highlight one of our many amazing clubs on campus. Mr. Matt, our campus supervisor, leads Art Club where students are encouraged to explore their creativity and express themselves through art. The talent and imagination on display is truly impressive.
