Heroes at WSS

Mr. Stella, our assistant principal, shaved his head on Saturday, March 19th, to raise money for the St. Baldrick's Foundation, which supports pediatric cancer research. Honoring our own Maddy Lewinger, a Kindergarten student in Mrs. Skop's class, Mr. Stella, thanks to the generosity of the WSS Community, raised $2400 for the cause. Maddy's team, Brave and Strong, which included her dad and brother, Jack, who is also a student at WSS, raised more than $13,000. You are all our heroes! Enjoy this video of the day's events

  10. Thank you to Maddy and the Lewinger's for including me in such a wonderful event! It was my honor to be part of team Brave & Strong. The event was an incredible learning experience for the students of WSS, my own children, and myself.
    I look forward to putting together a team of WSS students, parents, and staff members next year to participate in such a worthy cause.

  11. Of course, as a parent, this brought tears to my eyes. Way to go, Mr. Stella - you are a great person in so many ways. It is a great priviledge to be associated with WSS in general, but especially this year. It is a gift to have my daughter, Carissa, in Maddy and Jack's class. It is a wonderful honor to know the Lewinger's. We pray for them and wish all good things for their family in the future.
