WMS Friday Forecast
April 14, 2023
Hello WMS Parents and Guardians -
It's never too early to begin talking to your middle schooler about their future career options. We know it can be tough, but with a little bit of guidance, you can help your child discover their passions and the many opportunities that are ahead. Here are some tips to get you started:
Find out what makes them tick: Start by asking your middle schooler about their interests and what things they love doing. By exploring their hobbies and extracurricular activities, you can help them figure out what type of career might be a good fit for them.
Show them the world of work: There are so many different jobs out there, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Help your child explore different careers by using books, videos, and other resources to highlight the variety of options available to them. And be sure to talk to them about your job and your own passions.
Talk about education: Let your child know that education is important, and that there are different pathways to a career. Along with college there are other learning opportunities like vocational training or apprenticeships, which can lead to an array of successful careers.
Focus on skills: Regardless of the type of career they pursue, there are certain skills that are valuable in any job. Encourage your child to develop their communication, problem-solving, and teamwork skills by getting involved in school activities and seeking out opportunities to grow.
By starting the conversation early, you can help your child feel more confident about their future and be better prepared to make informed decisions. With your support, they can explore their options and ultimately find the career that's right for them.
Have a great weekend,
Tim

Donations Needed
The Staff Appreciation Committee is organizing Staff Appreciation Week for May 8-12. With so many needs we are putting out our lists early. We have both a Genius Sign Up and an Amazon wish list - see the buttons below. Please consider making a donation to show our staff how much we appreciate them.
Dear 8th Grade Parents and Guardians:
Here is a list of our 8th grade events for the end-of-the-year:
8th Grade Dance: Friday, May 19 from 6-8 PM- sponsored by our PTO. This is a fun, casual party with dancing, food, along with some other fun activities. Historically, some students come “dressed-up” for this event and some choose to dress casually. If your child chooses to dress-up, please make sure their school clothes are appropriate. Either way, students will have plenty of time in high school for "dress-up" dances.
8th Grade Awards Assembly: Friday, May 26, at approximately 9:30 AM (Location To Be Determined). All parents are invited, though please know that this is a fairly short awards assembly and not all students are individually recognized. We will inform parents of those who will be receiving an award so they can choose to be in attendance. Please note that we don't have a middle-school "graduation" ceremony - we leave that to high school - instead, having an awards assembly and some other celebrations for our students.
8th Grade Lunch and Games: Our PTO sponsors a lunch on the last day of school along with some games and activities to celebrate the end of their middle-school days.
We are excited for a fun end of the year with our 8th graders!
Saints Helping Hawks
Saints Helping Hawks is back this week on Tuesday and Thursday after school in the LRC. It will run on Tuesdays and Thursday through May 11th. Please reach out to Mrs. Batka (samantha.batka@d303.org) or Ms. Brummel (allison.brummel@d303.org) with any questions.
Donate to our Student Council Fundraiser
Student Council is holding a fundraiser at Wredling for Fox Valley Food for Health the week of April 17-21. Fox Valley Food for Health (FVFFH), is a program which teaches teens to cook healthy, nutritious meals. Adults deliver those meals free of charge to local families going through treatment for serious illness, such as cancer. WMS Student Council members will be collecting donations during lunches that week. All proceeds will be turned over to Fox Valley Food for Health to purchase food for those families in need within our community.
Any student who donates (minimum of $1) will receive a raffle ticket for each dollar donated to enter into a school wide drawing for a chance to win prizes. $5 = 5 raffle tickets, $10 = 10 raffle tickets, etc... This is a great opportunity to serve and support the families in our community and get a chance to win some great prizes! Thanks for any help you can give to this great cause!
