Recently at Super Saturday, KG-5th students made beaded chokers and played American Indian-themed bingo. At Fellowship Night our middle and high school students learned how to add fringe to shawls and the importance of working together as a community. #WPSproud

It was important for us to honor our Board of Education members and the North High Mascot Committee for their time and work toward the final decision to remove the North High School mascot. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do in support of our community! #WPSproud
