Supporting WSOC Alumnus Zai Jet

Many in our WSOC community remember Zai Jet, who joined our senior class in 2022 and graduated with the Class of 2023. His kindness, warmth, and joyful spirit make a lasting impression on all who know him.

Last week, Zai Jet was taken into ICE custody while traveling and is currently being held at a detention facility in Texas as he awaits a bond hearing. He has secured an experienced immigration attorney and continues to pursue his asylum case.

If you would like to support Zai Jet during this difficult time, his family and friends have established a legal fund to help cover the significant legal expenses ahead. Every gift, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. Thank you for keeping Zai Jet and his family in your thoughts and for showing him that his WSOC community continues to stand beside him.

What would you pay for fresh poetry?

Today, our 7th-grade students set up a “fresh poetry” stand, charging just a quarter per original poem. Written on the spot and by request, each poem was crafted for fellow students (of all ages), faculty, and staff—anyone with a quarter could leave with something truly unique.

A fitting and joyful culmination of their poetry block, taught by High School English teacher Ms. K.

Thank you to our 7th-grade poets and Ms. K for an inspiring, thoughtful, and insightful event—reminding us all to fill our lives with poetry.
