Students in Mrs. White’s 5th grade math classes enjoyed a fun change of pace by completing their work directly on their desks. This was the first time Mrs. White tried this approach, and students were excited to work in a hands-on format beyond traditional paper. We love seeing creative strategies that keep learning engaging and fresh! 📐📊

Take a look at Mrs. Stephens' class using dictionary skills to play Scrabble and Boggle!


Tonight at our school board meeting, a few of WMS's own were recognized with awards! Congratulations to Marissa Smith - Teacher of the Month, Dulce Baylon - Student of the Month, and Abbigayle Harmon - Certified Employee of the Month. Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and we are so grateful to have you all as part of the Knight family! 💜




STEAM Week is approaching! Our students will be able to watch Home Alone at Stars Cinema, which goes along with our big STEAM event! Please send $9 to cover the movie and the kiddie combo! We are SO excited for this event! 🎄

Ace is very thankful for his wonderful environment at WMS and at Mrs. Saunders house, but he hasn’t forgotten about all of the wonderful dogs and cats that are wishing for a home this Christmas. Please help Ace out by donating to WMS’s fundraiser supporting UCAPS! The class with the most money raised will get to spend time with some special 4-legged visitors! 🐾
Due to low sales, we are postponing the WMS Archery fundraiser with Flying Burger until February. Thank you for those that placed orders, hope to see you in February! We will refund any payments that were made.

Don't forget that Friday, December 5th is the last day to order Steam Day shirts! 🎄
This year we would love for students to join us in the holiday fun! Here is our schedule for the 12 Days of Christmas! 🎄
