Mrs. Ashmore’s 6th period seniors read “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge this week. This epic poem examines the burden of an albatross that the main character carries around his neck. These students drew a visual representation of a burden that each of them carry at this time in their lives. Then they explained their burden in a paragraph and hung it around their necks.
Pictured from left to right are Caleb Weinette, Blake Strickland, Summer Owens, Miranda Granadoz, Hunter Stark, Noah Wright, Makaila Granadoz, Arianna Pena, Rileigh Henard, Angela Molina, Asia Shrubs, Barret Phillips, and Corni Klassen. Not pictured is Jordan Nation, but Barret carried his burden for him during the picture.
Our WHS gifted and talented students went on their annual field-trip. This year, our GT coordinator, Renessa Klink, and science teacher Brandi Weinette took them to Blind Bird Designs in Amarillo where each student got to create a glass blowing project. Their finished projects were amazing as they learned a lot in the process.

All adults, including administrators, directors, bus drivers, and audience members need to bring a valid Texas driver’s license to be scanned before entering the auditorium.
If you would like to avoid the line the day of the contest, the Talkington School has created a way to bypass the kiosk by filling out the required fields with your phones in advance. Please note that advance check-in will only be available until 4:00 pm on Thursday, March 30th. All other attendees will be required to check in on the kiosk upon arrival to Talkington.

Upon arrival at Talkington, enter the main auditorium entrance located on the southwest side of the building. Those who checked-in in advance will need to provide the school they are associated with and their name. A pre-printed sticker badge will be provided and must be worn at all times when on campus. Those who have not checked in prior to Thursday at 4:00pm will obtain a badge after filling out all appropriate information at the kiosk.
