Our middle school students went to Elgin on Saturday to audition for the SWOBDA honor bands. They competed against students from many other schools. Competition is stiff, since the bands only take so many people. It is not easy, and we are very proud of all of our students.

📢 Mock Election Day Fun! 🗳️
Yesterday, our students had the exciting opportunity to participate in a mock election to vote on President! It was so much fun watching them stand in line, go through the process, and engage in this real-world experience. This hands-on activity gave them a deeper understanding of our democratic system and the importance of voting.
Look at post to see some great pictures of our young voters in action!
Bus two is running about 20 minutes behind this morning. Sorry for the inconvenience.
WMS students celebrated Día de los muertos last week in Mrs. Dougherty's Spanish classes. They shared memories about loved ones who had passed away and honored their memories by creating art throughout the week. "It's not about the quality of the art produced, but about the time spent remembering the people we hold in our hearts." Students remembered grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and siblings. Día de los muertos is a celebration of lives passed and our deep and true connections with those lives.
