Home Hockey Game Tonight – Fundraiser for Millbrook!
Hello Williston Community,
We hope you are well and that you will all be coming down to the hockey game tonight at 7 p.m. as the boys varsity hockey teams hosts Academie St. Louis from Quebec. You may have heard or seen on social media that there was a tragic death in the prep school community when Millbrook AD and girls hockey coach, Ed Allen, was in a fatal car crash last Saturday morning. We intend on having a moment of silence at the game on Friday night, but are also going to take a collection between periods with all the proceeds going to a fund that has been set up for his surviving wife and family. I write in advance so that if you will be attending the game we hope that you could spare a few dollars for the collection. Thanks and we hope to see a packed house in the rink tonight!
Sincerely,
Coach Cunha and the Boys Varsity Hockey Team

Food Drive Collection Results
Hi Williston!
Yesterday the Community Service Club went on an adventure to empty the Food Drive collection boxes from the first round of donations. That means that today the first round of results are in!
Drum roll please….
Leading the way is the Middle School with a total of 47 donations!
Second is the Junior Class with 19 donations!
Following close behind is the Senior Class with 10 donations!
And right behind them is the Faculty/Staff team with eight donations!
The Sophomore Class is holding a steady fifth with two donations!
And the Freshman Class, with no donations, fills the final slot!
Now as a community that gives us 86 donations which is still a ways off from our goal of 500.
Our next checkpoint collection is on Friday, how much further can we get?
The challenge is on Williston, which team will win the dress down day, and more importantly, how much of an impact can our community make with this food drive?
The answers are up to you!
Best of luck and have a great week!
