West Salem High School parents:

We had a very positive pep assembly today as we recognized a large variety of students from our athletic teams to music programs to science groups. I am extremely proud of our students and their accomplishments. Representatives from Toshiba were at the assembly to recognize four students for winning a regional science contest.

Please take a minute to look at the calendar of events on the school newsletter. We have a number of important events coming up in April.

Congratulations to Dr. Ike Nail, he was selected as the Regional Music Educator of the Year. He will be honored next month at an event at Willamette University.

I hope you have an enjoyable spring vacation.

In appreciation,



Ed John
Principal

West Salem High School parents:
This past week was an exciting week at West. A number of our science students in Mr. Holman and Mr. Dey's classroom won a regional competition and will be going on to the next level next month. Mr. Lampert's science students also won their competition and will advance. Mr. Moneke's Mock Trial teams took first and second place at the district level and will go to state next week. Our wrestling team did very well at the state meet taking 6th place.
We are proud of our students and appreciate their hard work.
Parents are reminded of the freshman orientation / curriculum fair coming up this next Tuesday, March 10th starting at 6:00pm in the commons.
We recognized over 500 students earlier this week for being on the honor roll for their work first semester.
Spring sports have started and we are looking forward to spring music concerts. It is a busy time of the year.
Again, thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Ed John
