I hope this message finds you doing well and eager for a brief period of rest and time with family and friends. What I enjoy most about the Thanksgiving holiday break is the space to think about all that is going well around us. It's important to truly reflect on the progress, possibilities, and promises we've made and to thank those who have helped us make them. For me, I want to offer deep thanks to our entire WHS community for its commitment and regard for public education. Even while some parts of the process are still works in progress, it's important to recognize the gains that have been made by all to overcome challenges. Good comes from effort even if we don't meet our goal.
The extraordinary faculty and talented student body have ensured that achievements have taken place so far this year. And, the future of WHS will be every bit as praiseworthy as its rich history.
We have so many things to be grateful for. Our Town, school community, the staff, and of course our students. Let’s take time over the next few days to reflect on these things that make for a "good life." I ask you also to find ways to make the things we cherish and the things we are good at, to continue on. Isn’t that the true measure of Thanksgiving?
On behalf of the faculty and staff at WHS I would like to wish your family a restful and purposeful Thanksgiving holiday break. This is such a nice time of year to demonstrate a level of gratitude that measures up to how fortunate we are to live and learn in this Town.
Please know every member of our school is appreciative of your children and the cooperation you provide to teach them.
Best,
Mr. Brian M. Callaghan
Principal
