Structural Engineering
Mr. Giuliani's 8th grade Structural Engineering class learned about Buckminster Fuller, and some of his accomplishments. Our students collaborated to build two domes from newspaper and tape. Since we made two of domes, our students thought it would be fun to combine them. They could not get the 6 foot sphere out the door so they decided to hang it from the ceiling!
“Windsor Wonderland”
WMS was well-represented at this past weekend’s “Windsor Wonderland” celebration! 50+ Carolers from our Choirs showed up and showed out in force while performing for a large audience! Happy December, everyone!

Inclement Weather Scenarios
There are three potential winter-weather scenarios in our district: a closure, two-hour delay, and early dismissal. In the case of any of these scenarios, we will send a message through Infinite Campus, as well as post on the district’s website and Facebook page as soon as possible. Please make sure your contact information is up-to-date through the Infinite Campus app or website.

Counselor's Corner
Self Care Is Not Selfish
Winter time and the holidays can be a difficult time for many families. Sometimes we need to take a mental health break and destress.
How do we do that? Below are some articles about how you can spend time decompressing through the holidays.
Remember taking care of yourself is not selfish- it's a priority.

VOLUNTEER COACHING INFORMATION
There are a few steps to volunteering as a Coach at WMS. The first step is to speak with the Head Coach of the sport you want to participate in. When that coach approves you, he or she will send a note to Mr. Cox, our Athletic Director, informing him of the potential volunteer, and that the coach has met the potential volunteer and has a plan for that volunteer to help our program. The potential volunteer will then need to come see Mr. Cox to get a Volunteer Coaching form. You will need that form in order to complete an application to volunteer on our RAPTOR system. Once you have the form, go to RAPTOR and fill out the volunteer application. When you are approved, you will be in the system and are then able to work with our athletes.
Please call Mr. Cox if you have any questions, or need help working through the process, at (970) 686-8219.
