Field Knight - Fri., Jan. 27th
This Friday night, January 27^th, is WHS’ second Field Knight.  Participating students will spend the night at school and participate in a variety of games and entertainment beginning at 10:00 P.M. and ending at 5:30 A.M.  School staff and parents will be chaperoning throughout the night.

The cost for participation is $6.00 ($5.00 with a canned good) which will help cover the cost of supplies and food.  The PTSO is arranging for breakfast at 5:00 A.M. before students depart at 5:30 A.M. 

Students must sign in at the main lobby after the crowd from that night’s basketball game has dispersed.  Students must be present and signed in by 10:00 P.M. in order to participate.  Students will not be able to leave until 5:30 A.M. unless they are picked up by a parent.

This was a great experience for everyone who participated last year and we are looking forward to another great time.
