BEST BUDDIES ACTIVITY
Best Buddies End of Year Bash. We went bowling at Ben Lomond Lanes. Everyone had a blast! Afterward we went to a park for Pizza and Pop. It was a great way to end an awesome school year!
Wahlquist Cookie Craze
As part of their Free Enterprise project, the 8th grade FACS B students launched their very own cookie companies—from scratch! They designed unique logos and catchy slogans, hunted down the perfect recipes, calculated costs like real entrepreneurs, and brought their sweet creations to life using top-notch safety and sanitation practices. From concept to cookie, these young bakers turned their delicious ideas into a business reality!
Our Latinos in Action students got an up-close and personal tour of Weber State University this spring.
A BIG THANKS TO MR. WOODEN & MR BOURGEOUS! WE WILL MISS THEM!

Students who completed the 3rd quarter Eagle Hour Choice Board were invited to a special celebration to recognize their dedication and effort. The event took place outdoors, where the sunshine provided the perfect backdrop for a fun and relaxing afternoon. Our administrators, Mr. Craynor and Mr. Penland, fired up the grill and served hotdogs to these high achievers. Students had the chance to hang out with friends, play yard games, and enjoy a well-earned break. It was a great way to celebrate their commitment to learning—not just meeting the minimum requirements, but going above and beyond to extend their learning beyond the classroom.

"It's been 30 years since Roy won the Junior High Girl's Basketball Championship, but Wahlquist dashed Roy's dreams in a nail-biting District Championship clash! ⚡ The Weber High gym was a cauldron of energy, a deafening roar echoing with every play. Roy, the undefeated Razorbacks, led by 10 at halftime, showcasing dominance under the hoop. But Wahlquist, the reigning champs hungry for their fourth straight title, stormed back with eagle-eye precision perimeter shots. The tension was palpable. In the end, Wahlquist edged out Roy 46-43, leaving hearts pounding and voices hoarse. A truly epic battle between two powerhouse teams!" - WSD Facebook Post

Student Gov organized a field trip to hike to "The Major", a 150'x78' American Flag hanging in Cold Water Canyon by The Major Brent Taylor Foundation. We filled the bus with Cheer, HOPE Squad, National Jr Honor Society, and teacher nominated students.
After the hike in beautiful weather, we enjoyed lunch at Pizza Pie Cafe. Jennie Taylor visited us and talked about how we can better thank veterans for their willingness to serve to protect the freedoms we enjoy.
