Good morning!
The Golden Bear Gazette hopes you have a great Wednesday!
Today will be a Fast Track day for B-Day students. This was a last-minute announcement after Tuesday's school day.
Here is the news to keep you in-the-know. Today's two large stories:
1. The competition for the most thankful.
2. Your latest WCS COVID-19 numbers.
1. Who will prove themselves to be the most thankful?
Student Council has led the annual door decorating contest in the past with a football homecoming theme and each class's subject matter represented. This year they used flexibility to their advantage to create a positive twist on the old tradition.
Student Council's annual door decorating contest this year has a new theme: thankfulness.
"It is important to focus on the things we sometimes take for granted," Mr. Stricklin told The Golden Bear Gazette. He went on to describe that this year of all years, our student leaders wanted to emphasize what matters most in our trying times.
Each ninth block is encouraged to participate by displaying what they are most thankful for in the most creative and original manner.
Judges are looking for doors that not only display Thanksgiving holiday vibes but also have genuinely thankful and appreciative messages. Judging will take place Thursday afternoon after school.
