Waverly High School

FBLA had a great day at the EntrepreneHER event with these amazing students!

They heard from inspiring women in business who shared real-life experiences, career journeys, and valuable advice that truly inspired our group and made great connections to their future goals. A highlight was getting their hair styled by Drybar and taking professional headshots with Level 10 Creative—such a fun and empowering experience!

We are SO proud of them for stepping out and investing in themselves!

On Saturday, May 21, the Waverly boys and girls bowling teams joined several volunteers to support the incredible work of Sleep in Heavenly Peace during a Bed Build event. Together, they helped construct 40 beds for children in Lincoln who currently do not have a bed of their own.

According to the organization’s website, “114 kids in Lincoln are waiting for you to help them sleep tonight.” Thanks to the hard work and generosity of our student-athletes and volunteers, we’re one step closer to making sure every child has a safe and comfortable place to sleep.

We’re proud of our team for giving back and making a meaningful difference in our community!

What a performance by the Waverly Theatre Company tonight. You will want to get out and see this talented group. Shows on Saturday at 2 PM and 7 PM and again on Sunday at 2 PM.
