We celebrated Mr. Nunez today as he was awarded $1000 from Kinetic Windstream to give back to the school in a way of his choosing. He was chosen out of 360 applicants for the award.
He spoke to our 7th-12th graders today about giving back to your community; how helping others helps you too. His award will be used to purchase new Jr. EMS gear for students going on calls.
Congratulations, Mr. Nunez, and thank you for your many years of dedication to West Harrison and our school community!
