The Giving Tree

By: Rachel Hall

As of November 21st, Mrs. Kotak, the nurse and secretaries of WHS have put up the traditional school giving tree.

Every year, these wonderful people take the time to decorate the office lobby with a holiday tree. This tree is decorated with ornaments that the WHS students have made on their own.
​On these cards is a name of a retail store along with an amount to donate. You grab the ornament and then hand in the gift card to the nurses.

When December 15th rolls around, we hope that the tree is bare, and the stack of gift cards being sent to the social security department is overflowed. Last year, WHS earned over 1,000 dollars in gift cards. This is currently the school record, hoping we break it once again this year.
