Annual Art Walk

On April 5th, Walter Bickett Educational center hosted an Art Walk featuring art children have been making this spring. Each class was given a landmark destination and teachers had to come up with fun art that was relevant to the destination. Family members were all invited to come in and take a tour of our school. Students received a passport to have stamped at each destination, aka classrooms. The event lasted 90 minutes. The destinations included, Myrtle Beach, Ocean Isle, New Orleans, New York, Massachusetts (Dr. Seuss’s birthplace), Cape Canaveral, FL , Washington D.C, Puerto Rico, Alaska, Hawaii, and Arizona. Thanks to everyone who made this event a great success. Click for photos

Pampered Purse Drive

The Volunteer & Outreach Committee had a drive in February. It was a Pampered Purse Drive where each class contributed a purse and filled each one with different toiletries. The Pampered Purses were given to the women at Turning Point on Valentine's Day. The purse was also used for the women to have when going on job interviews. The Volunteer & Outreach Committee collected a total of 13 purses to donate to the women at Turning Point.

Cosmetology Steps Up To Bring Holiday Cheer

The enrollment at WBEC has been increasing this year to approach pre-pandemic numbers. When the WBEC Cosmetology Arts Program heard of the need to support some of our students, they jumped in with both feet. WBEC Cosmetology Program’s senior class provided toys and clothing for our students in the C Building and celebrated with them. It was quite heart warming to see the look on our students faces as their older peers engaged with them.

FHHS Students Celebrate the Holidays With WBEC Students

We are just amazed at the outpouring of support that the Forest Hills High School students continue to provide to our students. This has been a very longstanding partnership over a decade strong. Last year, in the midst of the pandemic, they were still able to support our students virtually by recording individual book readings for every child while providing copies of the books and clothing.

UCPS Shout Out!

Thank you nurse Hawkins for taking care of us!
