Join us TONIGHT at 6pm in the Waltrip Library for the October Waltrip PTO Meeting, followed by Coffee with Principal Cortez. This is a great opportunity to stay informed and connect with our school community. We’ll also have a special guest, Mr. Gray, who will be speaking about the impacts of social media on teens—a topic that’s more relevant than ever!

Freshman Class Officer packets are now due by TOMORROW, October 16th at 4pm! Freshmen, it’s your chance to step up and lead your class—don’t miss out! Turn in your completed packets to Ms. Fox in room 3227. Let’s go, Freshmen!

Jazz on 34th is just a little over 3 weeks away! Now’s the time to grab your tickets and help make this event a huge success!  We’re also actively seeking sponsors, so if you or someone you know is interested, please reach out.

Don’t forget to share this event with your friends and family on social media—let’s spread the word and make this an unforgettable night for Ram Nation!

Help support the Waltrip Ram Band Band every Wednesday in October from 4-9 PM by dining at BB’s Tex-Orleans on 34th Street! Whether you dine in or take out, 20% of the proceeds will be donated to the Waltrip Roaring Red Ram Band. Don’t forget to mention Waltrip High School Band when you order. Let’s keep the music playing, Ram Nation!

Waltrip Families, we invite you to celebrate the memories of your loved ones by participating in our traditional Ofrenda. From October 21st through November 2nd, bring a picture or keepsake of a family member to room 1304, where it will be proudly displayed as part of our tribute for Día de los Muertos. Please make sure to label your item with the student’s name and grade so it can be safely returned. Let’s come together to honor those we cherish in this meaningful tradition!

In honor of Día de los Muertos, join us for a free outdoor showing of Disney’s Coco on Saturday, November 2nd at 7pm in the Waltrip cafeteria courtyard. It’s a perfect way to celebrate this special holiday with family and friends! Concessions will be available for purchase.

Clubs and groups interested in selling concessions, please sign up here.
