Black history comes alive through creativity — art, music, words and more. We love this contest sponsored by the WHS Black Student Union and can’t wait to see the innovative work that students make.
What a festive and happy Holiday Open House! The scholars love their new sweatshirts from the ABC elves. Thank you to so many friends for stopping by. Please remember to donate and support WABC this year— winchesterabc.org
Today you can make a difference in the lives of the Winchester ABC scholars. Please consider a donation to support this amazing 52-year-old program that has 100-plus graduates. WABC counts on individual donations to support the needs of the scholars as they attend four years of Winchester High School. Costs have gone up for house utilities, house maintenance, SAT prep and summer programs, not to mention all the food that growing teenage boys need! You can donate online, through the mail, with a corporate match and through programs like Amazon Smile. Give the gift of education today. Thank you!

Black Moses by Caleb Gayle has already garnered many accolades and it’s clear why— this is a riveting story of American history that resonates today. Listening to Caleb describe both the process of writing the book and the message that he hopes to convey had the audience spellbound. Copies are still available at BookEnds @bookendswinchester!
