Message from Dr. Cheng
Now that the 2020-2021 school year is officially in the books and summer vacation has started, I wanted to share some reflections on the year.
It goes without saying that this past year has tested the fiber of our being. Nobody was untouched by the challenges we faced from the pandemic. However it didn’t stop there. We were also confronted with confusion, anger, and frustration as hostility erupted because of differences in political views and parties; because of differences

Summer Message-Dr. Dwyer
As the school year comes to a close I’d like to thank everyone for the incredible support, patience, flexibility and understanding demonstrated by the WeGo community this year. To say this year was challenging would be an understatement. Were it not for this incredible community we could not have overcome all the challenges we faced.
As we head into the summer I want to share information about the start of next school year. First, we will begin school on

ESL II Student Photography Exhibit at Gallery 200
Ends June 26
Experience the photography of West Chicago Community High School ESL II students at an exhibition at Gallery 200, 103 W. Washington St., West Chicago. The exhibit is open during the months of May and June on Fridays from 2 - 6 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. The exhibit is free.
ESL teacher Mark Poulterer explains the project: "Teenagers are divided. It’s the nature of adolescence. Divided between obligation and obliviousness, adventure and anxiety, nostalgia and the not quite yet.
Immigrants are divided too. It’s the nature of leaving one’s home. Divided between ritual and romantic, comfort and craving, nostalgia and the not quite yet.
|
|
That’s what this photography exhibit is all about; photographs of lives in between, and the photographers who live in those places." |

Information
Cost:
The cost of the program will vary based on the age level, number of tournaments, games played and residency.
Generally, as the players get older, tournaments become more expensive. The out of district fee is $100 added to
the baseline team dues. If the team sets dues at $400, in-district players would pay $400 and out of district would
pay $500. More detailed fee information will be provided at tryouts.
Time Commitment
West Chicago Travel Softball believes in having a balanced life. Athletes are encouraged to play multiple sports,
activities as well have time for friends and family. Generally, as players get older, they play more games. Thus the
expected game range is between 30 (10u) and 45-60 games (12u and 14u) over the course of 10+ months. You
should expect 25% of your games in the fall and the remaining games over spring/summer.
West Chicago Travel Softball Benefit
Data Driven Evaluations
West Chicago Travel Softball includes a baseline evaluation and benchmark evaluations to show the growth of
your athlete throughout their season. With West Chicago Travel Softball, you will know if your athlete is
improving and will have data to support it
|
|
West Chicago Fields and Facilities
Another benefit is having access to the same field and practice facility high school athletes have access to. During
winter and early spring training, athletes will have access to the fieldhouse and batting cage to ensure quality
practices. Athletes also will have the same home field as the varsity softball team.
Competitive Pricing
Travel ball can be very expensive especially when using facilities for winter training. West Chicago Travel
Softball has some of the most competitive rates in the area. You can ensure that you know exactly where your
money is going towards.
Our mission is to provide an environment for growth and development for kids of all ages and abilities. We are here to provide the opportunities and teachings for players to hone their skills and to compete at
a high level. We aim to instill discipline, teamwork, sportsmanship, honesty, and integrity, while preparing kids for high school sports and beyond.
