TONIGHT! WeGo Drama Presents "Harvey"
Performances August 20 & 21
Wego Drama at West Chicago Community High School celebrates the return of live theatre with the American Classic “Harvey”. Performances are Aug. 20 and 21, 2021 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 for students and $8 for adults available at wegotheatre.com or at the door. Proper masks are required for all audience members.
“Harvey” is the sweet Pulitzer Prize winning comedy by Mary Chase. It is the story of the loveable Elwood P. Dowd and his best friend, Harvey. There is only one problem; Harvey is a 6-foot rabbit that no one else can see. The hilarity ensues as everyone tries to come to terms with Elwood and Harvey!

WeGo In With Pride
This video highlights the first day of school for Freshmen as they take part in WeGo In With Pride. Freshmen attended 5 breakout sessions in the morning with the assistance of Student Ambassadors, including learning about our technology, learning about school policies with the Deans, finding out what activity and athletic opportunities are available, meeting their counselors, and going on a building tour, while sophomores, juniors and seniors were attending classes.
|
|
|
After upperclassmen went home and after eating lunch, Freshmen went through their schedule attending each class for 30 minutes.
Our goal with WeGo In With Pride is to reduce much of the "first day at a new school" anxiety by helping Freshmen learn about our school, while also giving them the opportunity to meet some of their classmates as well as our helpful Student Ambassadors!
