PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Dear Weston High School Parents,


Believe it or not, we are only 4 weeks away from the end of the school year.  Now is a good time to check in with your student and see how things are going.  There is plenty of time to end the year strong!

Memorial Day Weekend is only days away.  Remember, our biggest fundraiser, the Weston 5k, is Saturday May 28th.  Details are below to run, walk, or volunteer.  It is a great community event - so come out regardless. And the Fair and parade are back!

As I have said before, times are busy at Weston High School right now.  Please take a look at the calendar above to see all that is happening. And for those with seniors check the Class of 2022 section below.

As always, if you have any ideas, comments or questions, please reach out to me at kristana.esslinger@gmail.com or (203) 981- 0582.


Best,

Kristana

EVERGREEN DANCE (9TH AND 10TH GRADERS)

ADAP's Evergreen Dance - the SPRING EDITION, is coming up on Saturday, June 4th!  Tradition held that Freshmen often invited Sophomores to be their date for this fun evening.  Now's your chance!  Don't be shy - be bold and ask! Evergreen also encourages everyone to go whether as a date, alone, or in a group.  All Freshmen and Sophomores are welcome however you choose to go.  It will be a night to dress up, dance, and have a good time!  


It's been three years since the last Evergreen - let's work to bring it back better and stronger than ever.  Honor tradition and celebrate the future!  Parents encourage your kids!  Students encourage your friends!

 EVERGREEN - SPRING EDITION - JUNE 4TH - REGISTER TODAY!
