WEBB NIGHT: Webb night kicked off on Friday the 17th at 6:15 p.m. with Jeopardy led by Brian Kays and Nika Haleftiras, both members of the Science Department faculty, who ran the event along with Webb student government. The game was close between the classes, as all grades teamed their WSC and VWS students doing their best to answer each question quickly and carefully. In the end, the senior class of ‘23 won the first event of Webb Night, putting them in the lead early on.
