5 YEARS OF SERVICE
Mrs. Sanders English 11 Class at WHS completed their ending project for "OCTOBER SKY", launching rockets they had built as part of a project similar to the true story of Homer Hickam, Jr. and his friend, known as The Rocket Boys, building rockets to reach their goal of one day working for NASA.
Don't have to tell most of you who this great couple pictured is! Coach Wallace and his wife Brenda were at WHS Wednesday. While there, Coach was presented a plaque commemorating his 50+ years of coaching in the Wellington School District. 50+ YEARS! Amazing gentleman, coach, husband, father, and loved by all!
