• This coming week a group of WMS Students will be attending The Kindness Rally at Mentor High School. Schools across Lake, Geauga, and Ashtabula Counties participate in the Kindness Rally, which is a student-led event designed to excite and inspire students to make a difference in their schools. We work hard to build a culture of kindness and compassion in all of our schools. Kindness rallies are important to our bullying-prevention efforts and our goal to create a safe environment where students can learn and grow.
