ROBOTS ROCK ! Update.....TDW's Robotics Team claimed first
prize at the regional competition a
couple weeks ago, and this past
weekend, they earned some high
honors at the state competition:
the Think Award for their engineering
notebook, and they were one of three
teams nominated to go to national
competition for the Inspire Award.
Unfortunately, they missed out on
the final cut, but they did a fantastic job representing TDW at the state level. |  |

Congratulations to all our athletes. TRAVEL OPPORTUNITY FOR TDW STUDENTSTravel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness. ~Mark Twain Each year in August a group of TDW students has been fortunate enough to travel to our sister city in Japan. Applications for the 2010 trip are now available in Counseling office. Application deadline is February 15, 2010. The cost of the program is no more than $2000. Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis clubs have money set aside in their budgets to donate to offset that cost. In the past, students have also undertaken fundraising activities both on their own and as a group to offset costs. The trip encompasses ten days and it is at a time when the major festival of the area is taking place.  |  | A Japanese shrine visited by a

WHAT HAPPENS ON GREEN FRIDAYS?Our goal at The Dalles Wahtonka High School is for every student to succeed in his/her educational endeavor. Consequently, we have devoted our Green Fridays (see school calendar) from 8:00 to 12:00 for students to have extra access to teachers and lab resources. Some students may be assigned to this time by teachers and/or administrators. Others are welcome to come in without being assigned if they need help or need to make up work missed during absences. Students are encouraged to take full advantage of this additional time and assistance! STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN CHALLENGE DAY   To learn more, click here for the official Challenge Day Website.
