Thank You
While this magazine may be highly polished now, WestWood has come a long way. Thank you to our schools, Woodford and West Jessamine for providing us with the tools necessary for success. Thank you to the Mac Lab and the WCHS Academy program. Without them, this would be a poorly cut stack of pictures glued to a piece of our finest printer-paper. A special thank you to Middlebury College for their wholesome support and intellectual dough. Additionally, Ms. Benton and Mr. Haughton (our teacher sponsors) would like to thank the Bread Loaf Teacher Network and the C. E. and S. Foundation for all of their amazing support and inspiration.
