Congratulations to our Warrior of the Week, Eric Sanders!

It was a pleasure to host Michael Thatcher, Mrs. Thatcher’s brother, for an AP Academy lecture today! He is currently starring on Broadway in the musical Wicked in NYC!

Michael shared about his college experience, his decision to pursue a career in acting, and his perseverance through many auditions to make it to the point where he is today. Thank you for taking time to meet with our students, Michael! 💚

An internet outage last week didn’t stop learning with our creative teachers!! Mrs. McGee’s AP and Honors Human Geography students played charades with their vocabulary terms!

Wando Warrior Library Media Center hosted a book signing with freshman, Saviour Nlaghabe and his parents, Joan and Bill Tucker, to celebrate the publication of their family’s book, “Saviour’s Story.”

As the book states, “This is a story about two people with great plans for an orphan living in Northern Ghana who needed considerable medical treatment. Born with Cerebral Palsy, Saviour would face many hardships in the first few years of his life including being abandoned in the African bush at the age of three. This is not a story of how Joan and Bill made his life better. It is about a little boy who is so courageous and determined to make the most out of the opportunity they have offered him.”

This book is available for purchase at Barnes and Noble and Amazon. All profits from the sale of the book will be sent to help other children in Ghana!
