On Wednesday, Washington Middle School was recognized as the first school in our Co-Op to be a Model PLC school for Solution Tree.
Solution Tree presented WMS Principal, Bethanie Hale, with a certificate and a flag to display proudly on campus. "I'm just so proud of my staff. They worked tirelessly to ensure our nearly 600 students are getting what they need, and I think this recognition just proves that their hard work paid off," said Hale.
On Thursday morning, WMS students helped hang the school's Model PLC Flag to showcase this achievement to the community.
The new flag can be seen flying at the front of WMS's campus.
