We would appreciate it if you could donate a food or beverage item to ensure a successful picnic.

Please sign up for an item using the link ‐ https://tinyurl.com/WDSeniorPicnic2018.

The picnic will take place on Thursday, June 14th from 12:00pm - 2:00pm. Food items may be dropped off on the morning of the picnic. On behalf of the senior class and the class advisors, we thank you for your assistance and all of your support these past four years!

The Safe Space Club attended the Rutgers Camden LGBTIA+ High School Empowerment Summit on Monday, May 21st. The students were able to participate in informational workshops that ranged from safe dating, healthy relationships, and advocacy for the LGBTQIA+ community, career development and searching to name a few. The students were able to socialize and make connections with other students from nine other high schools in our area. The day ended with an ice cream social and creating a mosaic tile. Our mosaic tiles with our WDHS Safe Space name and art will be displayed prominently on a wall on the Rutgers Camden campus. The students (with parental permission) had the option to take a survey offered through the Tyler Clementi Institute. The survey from last year’s high school summit indicated that in the past year, 58% of LGBTQIA+ high school students regularly experienced harassment and violence at school, 73% reported experiencing severe depression, 40% engaged in self‐injury, 24% contemplated suicide, and 11% attempted suicide. So a big THANK YOU to the West Deptford community for your support.

Many WDHS students works were selected to move onto this competition. However, Julie and Nataly’s works were selected to travel the state. Congratulations!
