To make this possible, we are scheduling three ceremonies. Please see attached flyer for the ceremony time designated for each team. If your student does not know which team they are on, they can ask one of their core content teachers. You can also email the 8th grade Administrator, Mrs. Mira at amira@pasco.k12.fl.us
TEWMS Band Banquet
I am thrilled to announce the upcoming Weightman MS Band Banquet on May 17, 2024 at 6:00pm in the Thomas O Mine Gymnasium! This event promises an unforgettable evening filled with music, celebration, and camaraderie. For just $20, attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy a delicious dinner, receive well-deserved awards for their hard work and dedication throughout the year, and even win exciting door prizes. The banquet will serve as a fantastic way to honor the talented members of the band program and guitar class while creating lasting memories with friends and loved ones. I cannot wait to see all the musicians dressed up in their finest attire and celebrating their accomplishments in style. This is truly an event not to be missed!

Our staff of the week Roar-Outs are how we recognize our staff for exemplifying our ROAR mission - Respectful, Open-minded, Achievers, Rising Together. We submit Roar-Outs internally as a staff, but like to extend the opportunity to our families and students. Whenever you would like to recognize a staff member for going above and beyond, just click the button below and submit a Roar-Out.
We have an internal recognition system that is put out to our staff each week for Student of the Week Roar-Outs! When your child is recognized, we will announce their name on the intercom on Monday morning and take their picture in the courtyard! All submissions from the week prior will be published in the Wildcat Weekly (staff & student) each Friday.
