On Friday, May 17th, the WMS 7th and 8th grade Performance Ensembles participated in "Music in the Parks", an adjudication festival and award ceremony at Six Flags New England. All four of our performance groups were amazing! Band, Chorus, Orchestra and Jazz Band rocked the house. Bravo to all our students and to Ms.Byham, Mr. Frontz, and Mr. Thew for making it happen!

Diversity Night was a fun celebration of our community! Many school clubs and local organizations were represented. We had food, music, prizes, and a great time together! We love events like these that celebrate the rich and diverse community in which we live.

On Tuesday night our WMS 6th and 7/8th Chorus took the stage for our Annual Sing Out Choral Extravaganza. Led by Mr. Frontz, the choruses performed a range of songs that brought the audience to their feet. Bravo to all involved! Viva la Musica!

Students are seen enjoying the sunshine during recess. Our students always have the opportunity to move their bodies after lunch in our side yard.
