In today’s assembly, Williston Wildcat Robotics announced a “Name the Wildcat Robot Contest.” The contest will start on Feb. 19 and will run through Feb. 23. Students should submit robot names to Matt Cavanaugh via email. On Feb. 24, the top three names, as decided by the Robotics Team, will be posted and students will vote for their favorite (via SurveyMonkey). The winner will be announced on Feb. 26 and the person who submitted the name will receive a $15 gift card to Tandem.

Carrie Baker will visit  Williston’s Sports Studies class during A block on Tuesday to speak a little bit about the history of women in sport, the impact of Title IX, media portrayals of women in sport, homophobia and transgender issues in sport.

Today is Presidents Day! And while we don’t have the day off we do want to take a moment to observe the federal holiday. So today at 11:55 a.m., students will hear the angelus and chapel bells ringing, just as they did on MLK day.

Take a moment to reflect and appreciate the pause in our super busy schedules.
And as always if you have any questions/comments/concerns/suggestions email us, stop us on the street, text, tweet or snapchat because we want your ideas!

Forever yours,
The 2014 Student Council
