Early in September, senior Den leaders had the opportunity to look at some of the furniture in advance and provide feedback.

 “We want to get some booths in the cafeteria. We think the students will like those in the den leaders seem to think so as well. And just some other new tables there and some other branding opportunities in the Commons to make it really represent WEGO. So excited for the students to be able to utilize that for the rest of the school year,” said Dan Oberg, Director of Business Services.

The hope, according to Oberg, is that the new furniture will be installed over winter break, and be ready for use in January. 

The Geneva parking lot will also undergo renovations, The repairs are planned next summer and should be in use August 2024. 

The pool roof was previously installed in 1977 and based on district recommendations, it should be replaced in the next 1-3 years.

    Personally, I’m not a big booth guy. In fact, not many people used the booths in my own high school cafeteria. Interested to see what the students think of the booths once they are installed.

    Also, I’ve heard rumors of a zipline being installed from the second floor window above entrance H, to my parking spot…
