National Custodian Day is Oct. 2, 2023! This day recognizes the hard work that it takes to keep our public facilities in great shape as well as the people who diligently work to make sure we have schools and workplaces that are clean and sanitary. The custodian and maintenance crews are vital to keeping the schools and environment safe and healthy. On National Custodian Day, we ask that you show your appreciation to the East Porter custodian and maintenance teams who clean and fix our schools and office buildings and are an integral part of our school community.

Last Friday, WTMHS held a convocation involving Champions Together, Champions Together is a collaborative partnership between the Indiana High School Athletic Association and Special Olympics Indiana that promotes servant leadership among student athletes while changing their lives as well as the lives of those with intellectual disabilities. Special Olympics International is supporting Champions Together as a model program to activate schools through “Project Unify” which also has the endorsement of the National Federation of High Schools. WTHS is in the process of establishing a "Unified Team" which would be able to compete against other schools in Indiana in sports such as flag football, basketball, and track and field. The interactive convocation, which included host Craig Tornquist and Champions Together Consultant Brian Avery. Posted on WT Facebook are two videos from the convocation one is a contest involving WT students tying their shoes with oven mits (mimicking someone with cerebral palsy) and a dance contest. Very enjoyable and enlightening convocation. Many thanks to Craig Tornquist, Brian Avery and to Mr. Fields for bringing Champions Together to WT. For more information on Unified Teams:
