Staff Spotlight - Ms. Gillmeister
This is Ms. Gillmeister's seventh year teaching and third year at WMS - not surprising since she has wanted to be a teacher since she was four years old! Ms. Gillmeister's friends and family mean the world to her, so she can usually be found spending time with loved ones on the weekends. If not, she's probably enjoying the coastal sands of Maine!
Mr. Alaownis's Grade 6 Math Class
Students researched some of the most famous and noteworthy mathematicians and scientists in the history of the world and taught their class about the contributions they made to the fields of math science. The students enjoyed learning about from whom some of the concepts/inventions they take for granted today originally came from, and, in some cases, why those things were invented.
Bird Sculptures - Ms. Hanley's Art Class
Each year, Ms. Hanley teaches her students how to use papier mâché to build bird sculptures. Students research a bird of their choice and recreate it over a few weeks' classes.

Let's keep it going!!!!!
Friday March 7, 2025 is Community Reading Day! Boomer will be on campus
for that event, and he will collect the reading logs!
Each "reader" will receive a certificate, book mark, and a ticket to the game being held on Friday March 21, 2025! A flyer with a QR code for family/friends to purchase tickets for the game will be available! The ticket sale will be another fundraising opportunity for our school district, with $3 from each sale coming back to us!!!!!
Soda and Candy and Toys, OH MY!
We've noticed an increase in students bringing candy, soda, and toys to school. While teachers may occasionally allow students to bring a stuffed animal for special activities, these items should generally stay at home. Additionally, please remember that soda and candy are not allowed to be brought from home. Thank you for your cooperation!
