Waltrip High School
Ram Band & Cheer Shine at IGA Fundraiser
Last Friday, Principal Randall and PTO reps joined the Ram Band and Waltrip Cheerleaders at the Imperial Guard Alumnae (IGA) annual Scholarship Fundraiser, honoring Mayor John Whitmire (Waltrip ’68). Huge thanks to Mayor Whitmire and the IGA for supporting our students—and for their recent, generous revamp of the Waltrip Community Room.
The IGA is a sisterhood of former members of Waltrip’s all-girl Imperial Guard (1960–1982) continuing their legacy through campus improvements and scholarships for Waltrip students.
Next PTO Meeting: 10/21
Join us on Tuesday, Oct 21 for a packed PTO meeting! The Waltrip Alumni Association will share their 50th Anniversary Cookbook (just $20 to raise money for Waltrip scholarships) and—fingers crossed—bring samples from the book. Lifesavers ER (3820 N Shepherd), our newest Community Partner, will stop by with treats and details on internships for HOSA students, CPR classes for kids, and hydration/first-aid support for our teams. We’ll also welcome Councilmember Abbie Kamin as our guest speaker.
Campus Cleanup: Saturday, Oct 25
Ram Nation, please join us for a campus work day on 10/25 to spruce up our tennis courts. The courts received repairs from the Houston Spark Park Association earlier this year and are now ready for some upkeep to keep them in great shape. Please bring garden gloves, pruning shears and rubber gloves if you have them!
The Waltrip PTO will provide snacks and water for all volunteers.
