Tackle Hunger Food Drive:
It’s that time of year again for the annual Tackle Hunger Food Drive competition with Franklin County. Last year, Western Hills didn’t just win; we dominated, bringing in over 1,000 pounds more than our rivals! We fully intend for us to defend our title again this year.
Here’s how we’ll be getting our students involved next week in the lead-up to the Powderpuff Game being held next Friday afternoon.
Bring Cans to 1st Period: Students should bring canned goods each day to their first period teacher. The contest is based on total weight, so cans are key.
Daily Tickets: Each day a student donates cans, they’ll earn one ticket to use at the Powderpuff festivities for fun, games, and prizes.
Unlimited Play Wristband: Students who bring cans every day next week will earn a wristband for unlimited games on Friday. They will also be entered in a drawing for some of the new WHHS swag.
Classroom Competition: The first period class with the highest can total will win a donut party.
Household Income Forms:
Please do not forget to complete your 25-26 Household Income Form. This form is used for funding purposes and to ensure all of our students are provided the opportunity to thrive in their education.

SAT:
Kentucky switched from the ACT to the SAT test over the summer. Some students are feeling a bit anxious about the SAT, so we wanted to share an opportunity for them to take some practice tests. The Kentucky Virtual Library (KYVL) provides College Admissions Test Preparation. There are 8 SAT Practice Math tests and 8 SAT Practice Reading and Writing tests available. Please see the KYVL flyer for more information. If you have any questions, contact our Library Media Specialist, Rhonda Bell rhonda.bell@franklin.kyschools.us
