- Did you know that I recently had to give up my dream of becoming a photographer? I was having trouble staying FOCUSED! But seriously, though — all you photographers out there should snap some pictures and submit them to the Annual PTA Reflections Contest! This year’s theme is “Look Within.” Pick up a copy of the submission guidelines and an entry form today from the library. The deadline to submit your creation is October 28th.

- Hispanic Heritage Week continues today at WMS — and this time we’re putting you to the test! There will be a TRIVIA TOURNAMENT this afternoon during all grade-level lunches. Get the most answers right — and you’ll win some awesome prizes. The questions will cover everything we’ve been doing and learning about for the past week. And now — here’s one more fact for you to file away…

- It’s time once again for “Champions of Change” — honoring the innovative, courageous, and dedicated Americans who helped to shape the world we live in. This week’s champions will be highlighting important figures from the Hispanic-Latino culture.
.
Meet NASA astronaut Dr. Ellen Ochoa — a Mexican-American from California. In 1993, she became the first Hispanic woman to travel into space — spending a nine-day mission aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery.
.
In addition to her “out-of-this-world” adventure — Dr. Ochoa is a distinguished engineer, an inventor, and also went on to become the 1st Hispanic — and only the 2nd woman — to be named as Director of the Johnson Space Center. Dr. Ochoa is truly a Champion of Change!
- KIM: And finally today — something’s CHANGED at WMS this year. The classrooms are a little less crowded, it’s a little easier to move through the halls, and the craziness in the cafeteria has gotten a little more sane. WOLF-TV student reporters Elijah D. and this kid — Grace J. — are here to tell you why.
