Mr. Slife’s Advanced Foods class has been busy this semester cooking up business plans and their own recipes in preparation for their Food Truck Competition. The winners of Friday's competition: El Pasado! Congratulations to Ireland Dedmon, Reyna Betancourt, and Ivania Juarez on harnessing flavors of the past.

The class tasks students with creating a plan for their very own food truck – coming up with menus, business cards, a design for their truck, and most importantly, the food being served. On competition day, each group presents a final dish and business plan to a panel of judges made up of WHS staff and Wenatchee restaurant owners.

Each group is developing the skills to create great food and great businesses. Great work to each of the competitors!

This is what Wenatchee Panther Pride looks, feels and sounds like. 🎶🏆💜 Last weekend the Golden Apple Band traveled to Yakima for the Harvest of Marching Bands Festival, one of the premier events showcasing the finest high school marching bands in the Northwest. This year’s show is called Red and it made an impression.

Out of 24 bands competing:
🥁 8th place overall
🎺 4th place in the AAA division
🏆 Best Visual in the AAA division

Best Visual. Out of every AAA band on that field. Anyone who has seen Red perform knows exactly why they earned it. The GA Band and color guard travel to Everett this weekend for their final competition of the season.

Your ballot arrived this week — and WSD School Board President Tucker Jackson has a message for our community. 🗳️

Tucker is a Wenatchee parent with two students heading to Wenatchee High School soon. He also notes that WHS was built in 1972 (older than he is....a fact his 4-year-old nephew Quinn recently weighed in on with some brutal honesty.)

In all seriousness, Tucker walks through what three years of community planning, research, and design work produced and what Wenatchee voters will decide on November 3rd. The board has unanimously adopted a resolution in support of placing the measure on the ballot.

If approved by voters, the bond would rebuild most of WHS, renovate the rest, and replace aging HVAC systems at seven schools, improving air quality and learning environments for over 5,000 students and 700 staff.

Get the facts at wenatcheeschools.org/bond. Your ballot is here. Vote by November 3rd.
