• Weber students and their families have served our community both
locally and globally this year. Highlights include Founder’s Day
service projects in honor of Irving Weber. Students made blankets
for the homeless shelter, bookmarks for library, math games for the
Neighborhood Center, collected cards and supplies for soldiers,
donated to Shelter House, and raised money for a school in
Cambodia through our Pennies for Peace project. Team 3 students
adopted the Emerson Pointe community, and Students celebrated
Earth Day and during Souper Bowl Parties families donated 2720
pounds of food to the Crisis Center. Weber students and staff sent off
1310 paper cranes and sold paper crane jewelry and cotton candy
to earn $3,620 for the Japanese Red Cross. Through Jump Rope for
Heart students raised $11 000.00 for the American Heart
Association
• Students from 28 different countries attended Weber this year and
they celebrated diversity by continuing the rich tradition of hosting
an all-school assembly on United Nations Day that included a fashion
show featuring clothing from a variety of countries and music.
Parents and community members rounded out the morning by
teaching mini-courses celebrating the uniqueness of cultures
(language, customs, etc) to the students.
• Students had several new opportunities to develop their character
and leadership skills. Students continued to serve and lead within the school through Student Council. Two new service/learning groups were also implemented for Team 4 students: LAMPS(Leadership, Achievement, Motivation, Personal Development & Service) and SPA (Service, Personal Development and Achievement). Several students also participated over their lunch hour in a hip-hop dance group called Flight Boyz.
