After Wednesday's devastating announcement, we have moved trying to get a club application form in until after the break.

Remember to stick together, and band as one. The best thing we can do is stick together and be with one another.

Stand up, fight back.

We are one step closer to having a club application filled out so we can speak at assemblies, put stuff in the bulletin, and put posters around the school. Expect to see more by the end of this week and/or the end of winter break.

Katharine Turner, a senior at Chatfield High School, wants to be a history teacher. On Wednesday, she joined with hundreds of other students and made history by walking out of the school building.

Hi everyone! It's time to get back into the swing of things, meaning it's our first general meeting of the 2014-2015 school year!

We haven't quite made a date yet, but it will be on Monday the 11th, or Tuesday the 12th. Please make your calanders clear, as we will go over what our intent is this year, along with our goals. We will keep you posted!

Thank you, and please bring anyone you can! It will be at wilson in RM. 136, or if we cannot aquire that, in the wilson courtyard.

We wish you a good 14-15 school year!

Hi all, we hope you're having a good summer so far. However, that does not mean the union isn't hard at work.

For the past week, and most of next week, Walker Kirby Devine will be at the Cascade Mountain School Sustainable Agriculture course in Trout lake, WA. Yes, that's me. What does this have to do with the union? Well, I've been thinking about the food we eat in our school lunches. Nobody really looks forward to eating the lunches, and frankly, they aren't that good for you.

I propose we expand the Wilson High School garden, and make maintaining it a club. We can start out small at first, but I would like to grow the operation into something we can serve in the cafeteria at least once a week. I've attached a proposal at the bottom of this post.

I will bring this up with our principle Brian Chatard when I return, but I will need backing. I will also need help with that.

Here's the link to the proposal- https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwTc2Xlmc_HoQ1VPSGRBVVRFSG8/edit?usp=sharing

Thank you so much for reading this, and I hope to see you all soon!

We have a new threat on our hands. If any of you didn't hear, we are getting a completely new schedule next year. We need to show the school board that we are not enthusiastic about this new schedule. Please sign this petition, telling the school board that we care!
