Meet at the Park?

Would anyone want to meet at one of the parks on Saturday afternoon so we can show off the kiddo's? Either leave a comment below or email me (holthe_s@yahoo.com). It would be very informal and we would just pick a time (I am thinking around 1ish?) and let the kids play. Let me know so I can post a final response before Friday.

Trouble with profiles?

So I guess no one is interested in a tour....boo hoo! If anyone is having trouble adding to their profiles, please just send me (missy) an e-mail and I should be able to help you out. It's fun checking in with everyone thanks for filling out your profiles! Looking forward to seeing many of you on the 11th. I'll add some new pictures over the weekend~~~wonder if it will be you?

Tour?

So if I call the Highschool and try to set up a tour of the school for Friday night, 10.10 before the Homecoming football game would anyone be interested? or would I be there by myself? Leave your thoughts on the comment option below the post and we will all be able to see if this might be an option. Thanks!

Half of the Class of 1993........

The other half of the Class of 1993.........

Students had a choice of 15 or so special interest topics to choose from. Classes in ceramics, photography, collector cars to modern dance as well as more traditional clubs like W club (pictured above), FBLA, DECA, FFA, French and Spanish.
Marching Warriors traveled to Holland, Michigan and played for an audience estimated at over 100,000. The chorus hosted a Madrigal Dinner at the Hofbrau House with 16th century costumes. One-Act won state with a play that 'pinged'. "Oscar" was the most praised Waunakee one-act since first earning a state finals trip in 1976 winning the Critic's Choice Award.
Pictured ~National Honor Society. Science courses offered at WHS offered more than textbook and lab work. Ecology classes visited Waunakee Marsh and students were propelled down the hallway like human hockey pucks. Math was part of the Chicago School of Mathematics Project which stressed math that applied to the real world. Social Studies and English had a shared project in debating (an early version of conference meetings) that was piloted at WHS. Spanish and French classes expanded. Consumer Education served a five-course meal for dinner theatre and technical education had students working off-campus at jobs in mechanics, contruction, and painting.

Our senior year, the School Board approved a $5.8 million expansion and remodeling referendum involoving 21 instructional spaces, an addition to the gym, larger band and chorus rooms and an additiona to the spectator area for the swimming pool. Since 1994, additional changes have been made. Our former 'school' is now more of a campus!

Athletics~Simply the Best

The girls volleyball team went to state all four years, winning two championship trophies and two second place trophies. Girls basketball, need I remind anyone???, won the state trophy our senior year with an estimated 1600 Waunakee fans attending. Girls swim team had their bright spots in individual records. Girls soccer had first conference title in school history. Girls softball had a rough season, but persevered.

The football team, under new head coach, Pat Rice, struggled our senior year, but layed the ground work for many successful seasons in the years since. Boys soccer had a split season, 13-13-1. Boys baseball won conference championship and boys golf went to sectionals. Boys basketball had a rough season and fell in the semi-final regionals. Boys swim had individual improvements while wrestling placed two in the state finals.

Cross Country and Track and Field also had individual successes. The track team sent athletes to state with many coming home with awards.
