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.

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. We'll be selling barbecue for our first fundraiser. The sale forms will handed out by Monday, February 24th, and will be collected along with the money you have on Monday, March 30th. Our school goal is to sell $2,000 worth of BBQ.
