Dear WLMS Families,

Where do testers report on test day?

It's that time of year again ... library books are due! Please assist your students with locating all of the WLMS library books that are currently checked out. Empty out those backpacks, check under the beds and in all the closets for those missing library books.

If you need to access your student's account, please follow the directions on the WLMS Check Your Destiny Account Google slides. This will give you a list of all books currently checked out and any fines that may be on your student's account.

If you have any questions about books, please email me at alyssa.newman@humbleisd.net.

Students of Character Luncheon

Mr. Wiggins and Mrs. Knoeller were excited to present awards to our 8th grade male and female Student's of Character award winners. Humble ISD hosts a luncheon for these amazing students from across the district. These students are chosen by their peers for being exceptional in all ways in school as well as the extra curricular activities they are involved in. Anna Le Sueur and Cody Alexander were named WLMS Students of Character

Counselor Cart - Afternoon Treats for Staff

Counselors were able to provide a walking snack cart for teachers and staff. Teachers were treated to a cold drink and a delicious snack.

These 20 students competed in over 200 events at the state competition in Ft. Worth, Texas. These students worked hard all year preparing and qualifying for this trip. This is the fourth state win for WLMS under the leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins. Overall, these students brought back over 100 top five in the state awards. This is a huge accomplishment!
