Math Pentathlon Success
We are so proud of how hard the kids worked for the last 4 months on learning these games! Thank you, parents, for supporting them and the program this year! We could not have a tournament without your help. All of the kids did great! It takes a lot of courage to play kids they don't even know. It's a more stressful situation then just practicing at school!
We hope to see your children continue in the Math Pentathlon program next year. It was a ton of fun and they really did a great job learning the games!
What's happening in the library?

Attention 5th Grade Families!
5th-grade students enjoyed trying different band instruments out with the WGMS Band during specials last week. 5th graders interested in joining the WGMS 6th grade band need to sign up for an "audition" slot in May. No experience is necessary, this is just a time for the band directors to help students try the instruments and choose an instrument for next year. The WGMS Band sign up genius can be located at wgmsband.weebly.com.
Walnut Grove Yearbook and Robotics/Coding
Applications for yearbook and 6th-grade robotics and coding have been posted. It is important for students wanting to try out for yearbook to know that there is a two-part project involved. All applications and projects are due to me by April 12th at 4 pm.
Yearbook (for incoming 6th-8th graders) - Note - There is a two-part project that MUST be completed to try out for yearbook. Email nathan_pettijohn@misd.gs with any questions. The application and project are due Friday, April 12th.

Walnut Grove Student Council Club
Here is the link for incoming 6th graders to sign up for student council club (not for the 4th-period class). I'm sending a different sign-up form to have sent out to all incoming 7th and 8th graders. They will have an option to say if they are interested in signing up for the 4th-period class.
