WMS Weekly Warrior
April 8, 2024
Good afternoon Woodbury Middle School,
We hope you enjoyed this early spring weekend. Thursday and Friday night, we enjoyed the WMS version of Moana Jr. The gym was packed each night with guests of all ages. The cast and crew gave a memorable performance that will surely be remembered. Congratulations to the entire crew, especially the directors, Mrs. Odell, Ms. Manogue, and Ms. Lopa. We would also like to thank the many parent volunteers who gave their time to support the drama club at WMS.
On Wednesday of last week, we had a fantastic turnout for our parent forum, Let’s Talk Together…About Screen Time, Social Media & the Effect on Adolescent Behavior. The panel included Mental Health Professionals, Law enforcement, School Support Staff, and Medical Professionals from our community. The event lasted two hours and featured a rich conversation about the issues that parents and students face. We thank our sponsors, Woodbury Bethlehem ASAP, Woodbury Police, Newport Academy, and the Woodbury Bethlehem Juvenile Review Board.
By the time you read this edition, the eclipse would have passed. As you were notified earlier, the eclipse will take place at dismissal and safety glasses were given to the students in the event they would like to view this historical event. All sports and after school activities were cancelled.
April break begins next week, and schools will be closed. Hopefully, students and staff will take advantage of this break to put down the screens and enjoy some time outside or at least disconnect from their technology. We are headed into the busiest time of the year, with state testing just around the corner, so take advantage of this well-deserved break.
EKG Screening - In A Heartbeat Cardiac Screening Program is designed to help prevent death from sudden cardiac arrest by helping detect potential heart disease in children, teens, & young adults. They will be at Nonnewaug on Wednesday, April 24 starting at 1:30. Parents can register their child for a free screening using this link.

Have a great week,
