The WHHS Student Government/Interact Club recently renovated the Sandy Hook Memorial on campus! The memorial was created 10 years ago by the Student Government in response to the tragedy. They had worked hard to fundraise to purchase a bench and plaque, while also planting a tree and holding a dedication ceremony. The green and white rocks are the colors of Sandy Hook Elementary School. The 6 rocks directly around the tree symbolize the 6 educators while the 20 rocks on the outer ring symbolize the 20 students.
