Prom Fashion Show
A showing of the latest prom fashions will be on display in a fashion show in the Durant Auditorium this Thursday, January 28 during Mega Lunch.
Cost is $2.00. All proceeds are going to this year's senior prom.
Girls will be modeling dresses from David's Bridal and guys will be modeling tuxes from the Men's Warehouse.
There will also be a "blast from the past" showing of teachers' prom pictures from their high school days.
The senior class will also be revealing the prom theme! Information about prom will also be given during the show. Students can buy tickets from their 1st and 2nd period teachers. If you buy a ticket, you'll get out of 2nd period early to attend the show.

WHS FFA Students "Living to Serve"
Students from the Weatherford FFA are "Living to Serve" as the last line of the FFA Motto reads. The latest service project that the group conducted was to serve a dinner to residents at the Ronald McDonald House of Greater Ft. Worth. The Ronald McDonald House allows families that are displaced from home to stay free of charge (including all meals, lodging, transportation, toiletries, laundry service, etc.) while their child is being cared for at Cook Children's Hospital NICU. Mrs. Cowden's Culinary Practicum Class at WHS prepared a delicious meal that consisted of Italian meatloaf, seasoned green beans, and macaroni salad. The FFA Students also baked fresh cookies during dinner service. Those who attended were (pictured left to right) Ashley Zimmer, Katherine Zimmer, Bianca Peck, Jessica White, Teryl Hilliard, Hope Martinez, Kaitlyn Reid, Kennedy Box, Lauren Sharer, and FFA Advisor Amber Jennings.
And that's a wrap!
We're so thankful for the generous support of the Jerry Durant Auto Group and their sponsorship of Sesussical the Musical.
Thank you to all who came out to see our production of Seussical the Musical.
