We Are A.R.M.Y. Strong!!
Our vision is to ensure that all students are WMS ARMY Strong and are prepared for high school, college and careers.
Please be checking with Students on their grades and homework completion. Many of the homework assignments show a green checkmark when they are completed. We are seeing many students starting assignments but we need to continue to improve the number of students completing assignments.

8th Graders: Soc or Greaser?
*Style is an important distinction between Greasers and Socs. Greasers wear blue jeans and T-shirts, leather jackets, and sneakers or boots. They have long, greased hair and leave their shirttails untucked. Socs wear clothes such as ski jackets, tan-colored jackets, wine-colored sweaters, and striped, checkered, or madras shirts. They are clean-shaven and have "semi-Beatle haircuts."

Cops Connecting with Kids
We are so excited to be included in the Cops Connecting with Kids program through the Evansville Police Department! This partnership will allow our students (and some lucky staff members) the opportunity to go to Disney next fall! This is an experience that our students won't have and will be one they'll never forget.
In order to ensure that we have the funds to send our students and staff, we will need to join in the fundraising efforts with EPD. The WMS Staff are selling barbecue for our first fundraiser. All sale forms and money will be due on Monday, March 30th. Our school goal is to sell $2,000 worth of BBQ. Please contact the school if you are interested in purchasing any of the BBQ.
