Principal's Message
We are fortunate to have students in the WCI arts programs doing some large performances over the next week.

Thanks to all of you attended our wonderful winter concert last evening, it was great to see our students with the elementary bands.  The second part of the winter concert is tomorrow evening at 7 pm in our gym.  All students will be able to see the performance today in an assembly.

Next Wednesday evening, December 17th, at 7 pm WCI drama will be performing "Broadway Lullaby" in the cafeteria.  Please come out and see this performance run by students in all aspects from acting to lighting.

Have a wonderful week.
