Jasper (class 2010) recently decided to attend Dental school at University of Melbourne in Australia! Jasper reports he is excited to see a new part of the world and study in a new environment. Special opportunity for Jasper as British Columbia and Australia have reciprocal agreement for Dental school. This means after graduation Jasper can return home to practice Dentistry.

For the Whitman tennis family this is pretty special as Jasper is the 4th member of the team to start Medical/Dental school this year!

Community Service

Friday the Fighting Squirrels had the opportunity to show their community spirit by helping with the Walla Walla Downtown Foundation's annual trick-or-treat event. This event is truly a special Walla Walla event. Each year the downtown merchants hand out candy to the youngsters of Walla Walla. It is estimated that 3,000-4,000 dressed up kids show up for this event!

With so many kids in costumes (difficult to see) and the sheer volume of people, safety is always a concern. To help out members of the team served as crossing guards at several of the major downtown intersections. Coach even got into the spirit of Halloween and threw on the Fighting Squirrel outfit for the day!
