Even though the new school year started less than a month ago, members of the Mound Westonka High School Student Senate are already hard at work promoting spirit and participation within the school. This year's Senate is led by senior Abe Thaler, president; junior Nikki Wharram, public relations chair; junior Meghan Matt, secretary; and senior Mitchell Wanous, vice president.

If you reside within Westonka School District boundaries, you should have received a handbook in the mail this week that outlines the details of the two school district questions on the Nov. 4 ballot. 

Mound Westonka High School students brought the excitement from Haddorff Field into the annual Link Crew Dance, which was held at the high school following the home football game on Sept. 19. The Link Crew program provides the structure for eighth- and ninth-graders to receive support and guidance from juniors and seniors.

As you begin to prepare your wardrobe for upcoming cooler weather, please consider saving your gently used winter coats and snow pants for WeCAN's annual Coat Drive. 

Collection boxes will be located at the Early Childhood Center, at Hilltop and Shirley Hills primary schools and at Grandview Middle School from Sept. 29 through Oct. 14. Coats can also be dropped off at businesses throughout the community.
