Chicago Blackhawks staff members came to Wharton Today!

GOAL—go out and learn   The Blackhawks National Hockey organization chose Wharton School as one of the schools to visit and put on a G.O.A.L. (go out and learn) clinic.  They sent out four employees (coaches) to spend one hour with two separate groups of students on Monday, October 28th, 2019.  The coaches showed the students how to properly hold the hockey stick and how to safely stickhandle (move the ball with control).  The second skill was learning how to get past a defensive player with success.  Lastly, the students/coaches played a game.  They rotated in in “lines” as they do in a real hockey game.  It was extremely exciting for the students.   The students really enjoyed the clinic and were given Blackhawk pencil/ruler kit for being participants in the clinic.  The Blackhawks organization donated some hockey balls, hockey sticks, hockey pinnies, and two small hockey nets.   Thank you so much, CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS  ! ! !

Art for the Sky Tomorrow begins our journey with an amazing artist in residence. Daniel Dancer will be working with Walker Elementary for the next 3 days creating artwork with all students and staff. This special kind of art can be appreciated in all its grandeur from the sky, but the real work is happening on the ground. All students and staff working together to create something bigger than ourselves. That is what we strive to do every day! The big creation event should begin around 12:30 on Thursday if any parents, family, or community would like to come and watch it unfold. THURSDAY ALL WALKER STUDENTS WEAR GREEN

HMS received information today that required a locker search. A soft lockdown was conducted to keep students out of the hallways while the search was performed. Nothing was found, we determined all students were safe, the lockdown was lifted, and students resumed their day.
