Students also have the opportunity to be members of FCCLA. FCCLA stands for Family, Career and Community Leaders of America. Mrs. Beard took a group of 6 FCCLA students to Des Moines on Wednesday, November 2 to the FCCLA Fall Leadership Rally. The Rally kicks off the membership year by bringing together members all across the state of Iowa for one day of engaging leadership experiences, industry presentations, and professional networking opportunities. These are the 22-23 school year FCCLA officers.

Look up in the sky, is it J-Term, is it May Term, no it’s Spring Term. The secondary Building Leadership Team proposed Spring Term after their October meeting and it was approved. The Spring Term will be March 31 thru April 6. For five days, WMU will be engaging in Spring Term. Students and teachers will take a break from classes and immerse themselves into a project of their choosing. Past projects have included Wilderness Survival, School Branding, Crochet Coral Reef Movement, and many other hands-on activities that are of particular interest to the students. The students plan, conduct, and present their projects. Juniors and Seniors have the option to job shadow during the week. Part of the reason for the switch from May Term to Spring Term was to allow for the job shadows to be available to seniors. In May Term the seniors have already graduated.
