We begin today with WOLF PACK PRIDE!! The WMS Science Fair took place over the weekend, and it was an exhilarating exhibition of innovation and investigation. The cafeteria was packed with projects from DOZENS of 7th and 8th graders who put the “scientific method” to the test — all on display for the public to see.
.
The list of winners will be announced TOMORROW, so stay tuned to find out who will be moving on to county-wide competition. But in the meantime, congratulations to all of the participants, and the teachers and staff who worked so hard to put on the fair. Way to go, science wolves!! [clap]
.
And now for an important announcement for all 6th graders on the Exploratory Wheel. Today is the FIRST DAY of your new elective. Be sure to check your schedule for the class location — or go to your TA teacher with any additional questions. Once again, 6th graders begin their new Wheel classes TODAY.
.
What’s that buzz? It’s the annual “WMS Geo Bee!” Coming this FRIDAY at 11:45 in the auditorium — 6th, 7th, and 8th graders will put their knowledge to the test at this highly competitive trivia competition. There can only be one champion — but who will it “bee??” Students and staff are invited to the auditorium to watch the show in-person, or just tune-in to WOLF-TV to see the live broadcast at 11:45. Go, Geo!!
