EASTHAMPTON — Easthampton High School and The Williston Northampton School have rescheduled a civics matchup for later this week.
On Thursday from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the Dodge Room of the Reed Campus Center at Williston, students from the two schools will combine forces in a series of mock congressional hearings as practice for their participation in next month’s statewide We the People competition. The event is free and open to the public.
Students will field questions designed to show their knowledge of the U.S. Constitution. A panel of judges made up of parents, teachers and school officials will score their responses.
The Willistonian holds frequent Writers’ Open Houses for all students interested in writing for our school newspaper’s new website.
Have a great idea that you’d like to see written, and share with your friends and family? Don’t have any ideas, but would love an assignment? Interested in becoming a published writer, with your own news byline? Then this is a great way to get involved at Williston! Being published like this looks great on resumes and college applications, and just coming to our Writers’ meetings often gets you candy.
All meetings are held in Room 30 on the English floor, during activities period after classes. If you can’t make either of these meetings, but would still like to write/pitch an idea, please feel free to send the Editor in Chief an email.
The Chinese Activity Fair is Sunday night, December 2nd at 5-6:30 p.m. in the Cox Room and Parent Association Room.
There will be food, prizes, Mahjong (a chinese board game) and a lot of other interesting activities in Cox Room. There will be popcorn and a movie showing in the Parent Association Room. Chris Couchon our chef from the dining hall will specially prepare a very traditional and precious Chinese recipe—it will be really, really good!
The Chinese students all have prepared for a long time. So everybody should go to dining hall on Sunday and stop by the Cox Room. Have fun and enjoy the party!
As they stroll around the park, taking in the sights and sounds of the holiday season, visitors to Fenway Park on November 30 might also perk their ears at renditions of Williston Northampton favorites, “O Williston” and “Sammy.”
