WMES 5TH GRADE SHARE GRATITUDE Megan Evander JAN 13, 2021 It is not a secret that 2020 has created many new challenges across the world, some large, some small. With all of these challenges comes opportunity and that is exactly what Mrs. Schwarz exemplifies when asking her students to reflect on what they are grateful for. Mrs. Megan Schwarz, 5th grade teacher at WMES used a digital tool called Mentimeter to visually display what her students are grateful for and reflect on how this year has shaped their views on life and education. Take a look at what our 5th grade students are grateful for. “Gratitude turns what we have into enough” - Aesop

Great work Mrs. Marshall’s Middle School Animal Science class! Grades 6,7,8 grade worked on their final project for our Herpetology Unit (the study of amphibians and reptiles). Each student chose a species to research and display in their choice of project. They also had reports, slide shows, books, and posters. Check out their masterpieces below. https://5il.co/oi2t

Greetings Elementary parents, Today there was an accidental pull of the fire alarm this afternoon. Students will be released on time today. Thank you for your cooperation on this manner. Students did a GREAT job evacuating the building during this false fire alarm. Go cards!

Hello Class of 2022. We are scheduled to take the ASVAB test at the high school on December 16th at 9:00 am. This is a paper pencil test and can only be administered in person. The ASVAB test is required for students considering the Military. For those not considering the military, it is also a test that will meet a graduation requirement if you score a 31 or higher. We typically have all juniors take the test. If you are not sure if you should take the test due to being remote or for any other reasons, please contact me and I can hopefully answer your questions. I also need to know who needs bus transportation, as that is a Wednesday and not a normal pick up day. Thank you very much, Mrs. Olson
