Students in Mr. Chimente's Science classes learned about genetic traits in a colorful (and tasty!) way using butterfly gummies.
Students created “gummy offspring” by combining different traits from each parent, helping them visualize how genetics works in a fun, engaging, and memorable activity.
This interactive lesson brought science to life and kept students excited about learning.
A special spotlight shines on those who excelled on the SBAC with outstanding scores of 300+ and our one student who had a perfect writing score of 400!!! Their achievement reflects dedication and academic excellence worthy of this formal celebration.
Students will be receiving their awards over time so stay tuned to see the many things we have planned for our honorees.

At WJHS, our core values are Positivity, Productivity, and Professionalism—and this past quarter, we celebrated students who exemplify what it means to be POSITIVE! These nominated students were chosen because they represent what it means to be positive by spreading kindness, uplifting others, and helping to create a welcoming school community every day.
Each quarter, we’ll recognize students who live out one of our core values:
Quarter 1: Positive
Quarter 2: Productive
Quarter 3: Professional
Quarter 4: Exemplifying all three!
Way to go, Tigers!
