As we usher in the fall season at WMC, we have already reached the mid-point of the first academic quarter of the 2024-25 school year and our athletics and activities programs are now in full swing.
In September, we celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month at WMC. We hosted our annual Activities Fair during the lunch period on two successive days, giving all students the opportunity to explore the over 65 clubs and activities that we offer at WMC. Later in the month, we proudly opened our building to the community for our annual Back-to-School Night event. The evening began with the well-attended "Hidden in Plain Sight" program presented by Prevention is Key and sponsored by the Washington Township Municipal Alliance. The first of three College Fairs later this month saw representatives from over 75 post-secondary colleges and universities visit our building to promote their school to our students. To wrap up September, WMC hosted the 3rd annual Tournament of Bands marching band competition at WMC. The WMC marching band competed with 10 other visiting bands that evening to compete for the best in show.
Looking forward to October, the month will open with our annual Spirit Week, culminating in our Spirit Rally and Homecoming Dance. We will celebrate the Week of Respect with theme days recognizing National Stop Bullying Day as well as World Mental Health Day. Mid-month, college representatives will return for our second mini Collge Fair of the year while we close the month by hosting our first-ever Robotics competition as students and advisors prepare for state competition later this school year.
