Wall High School Knightly News

I am so excited and honored to be named Principal of Wall High School. Thank you to everyone for your support and well wishes!

October 23rd-27th

For the past 10 years, WHS has recognized the national drug awareness week called Red Ribbon Week (RRW). Mrs. Regenye, the Student Assistance Counselor, and the Wall High School DELTA Leadership Club help implement this week every year.

• Monday, 10/23 & Thursday, 10/26: Media Center lunch speakers Wall Twp. Police / New Hope Treatment Center), along with DELTA Leadership's Wheel of Wellness Game Show/giveaways
• Tuesday, 10/24: DELTA travels to WIS with Wall Twp Police to facilitate the Wheel of Wellness Game Show/giveaways to reinforce healthy coping mechanisms.
• Wednesday, 10/25: WEAR RED WEDNESDAY! And 9th and 10th graders will hear from Mykee Fowlin in Wednesday's Assembly!
• Thursday, 10/26: Faculty Outreach Day with local community agencies sponsoring faculty/staff breakfast and lunch because they have families too struggling; there's a week of Wall TV Messages of Hope & Resilience, and much more.
• Wednesday, 12/6: Our Annual Red Ribbon Week "Parent Talk" has been moved to December 6th, more details to come!

Reminder that the Fall is a great time of year to visit college campuses! Many colleges host Fall Open House events and offer in person family tours. We highly encourage our students to head to campus! It's a great way to really get a feel for the college. Take a look at beautiful Virginia Tech!

Seniors were treated to a fun day on the football field with

hat decorating, corn hole, a game of kickball, and a lesson on reptiles!

The boys Cross Country team has been on a remarkable run. Led by Senior Matt Remishofski, the boys team finished 1st at the Shore A Central Divisional meet and placed 4th at the Monmouth County Championships. Both meets were held at Holmdel Park. The boys qualified as a team to run the Shore Conference Championships at Ocean County Park. Senior Matt Remishofski and Sophomore Olivier Langeveld both ran a sub 16:30 and finished in the top 5 to lead the team into Shore Conference. Junior Stephen Mastoridis, sophomore Alex Langeveld and freshman Ryan Lovasz rounded up the 5 runners to move on. The rest of the team will continue their hard work as they compete at the Shore Coaches Championships at Ocean County Park.

Suggestions to stay healthy during cold, flu, and COVID season are helpful during this busy time of year. Habits like frequent handwashing, exercising, eating a balanced meal, and getting plenty of rest are the best ways to maintain a healthy immune system. If you experience symptoms of a cold, flu, or COVID, please stay home. If you have a temperature greater than 100.0, you must be fever-free without fever-reducing medication for 24 hours before returning to school. Those diagnosed with COVID, whether it be symptomatic or asymptomatic, should be isolated for 5 days, beginning on the first full day of symptoms (or the day you were tested if asymptomatic), and may return to school on day 6 if symptom-free. If you have any questions, you can refer to the guidelines on the district website or speak directly with the School Nurse.
