Ram Nation News – September 9, 2025

First Ram Fest TOMORROW!

We’re launching Hispanic Heritage Month with our first Ram Festival tomorrow (9/10) during lunch. Students can enjoy a mechanical bull, mariachi band, piñatas, and a photo booth at no cost. WHS clubs and organizations will offer food & drink for purchase.

Important – please be sure and remind your student to bring cash! All purchases require tickets, which are $1 each and may be purchased before and during the event – CASH ONLY!

We could still use a few more volunteers to help make this a fun and successful event for our students. Please consider signing up!
