We celebrated Mr. Nunez today as he was awarded $1000 from Kinetic Windstream to give back to the school in a way of his choosing. He was chosen out of 360 applicants for the award.
He spoke to our 7th-12th graders today about giving back to your community; how helping others helps you too. His award will be used to purchase new Jr. EMS gear for students going on calls.
Congratulations, Mr. Nunez, and thank you for your many years of dedication to West Harrison and our school community!
West Harrison is looking for help with their Little Hawks Wrestling Program. The time required is a couple of hours a week and the benefit to the communities is tremendous. Please contact Mr. Nunez at school or email him at anunez@w-harrison.k12.ia.us.

Good Afternoon West Harrison!
I wanted to make you aware that we currently have quite a number of RSV cases going around the elementary school. Due to the number of cases in preschool, we will not have preschool on Friday, Nov. 5th. RSV symptoms include a fever or a nasty cough. If your child displays these symptoms please keep them home until they are fever free for 24 hrs without medicine or the cough improves. If you're not sure what to do feel free to contact the school nurse for assistance. Thank you for your assistance with keeping everyone healthy!
