Our 4th grade team of teachers, Mr. Becker, Mr. Isakson, Mrs. Kuntz & Mrs. Renken, have a combined total of 100 years of teaching in our school district. If you add on other districts they have taught in this number is higher!! This is an amazing milestone for any group of teachers. Thank you 4th grade team for all you do for our students and your dedication to education in our community.

The time has come to order your yearbooks. This link will be open until March 21st! We can't wait for you to see what a great year we have had a WMES. Yearbooks are $20.

Do you have any pictures from field trips, class events, programs, etc. that would be fun to share in the yearbook? Please feel free to share any pictures through the link below.

On Wednesday, January 15th, the Bell Museum brought their ExploraDome to our school. The kids were able to learn about stars and space in such a different and fun way.

Join us in helping support the WMMS PTO! This annual fund raiser is a fun, family bingo night. You can purchase tickets with or without dinner. There are many prizes waiting to be won!

The Minnesota Free School Meals Program is now permanent!

• What does this mean? Students can receive their first standard breakfast and lunch for FREE!
• What do I need to remember? If students go back for a second full meal, additional entrees, side items, or a la carte, these DO cost extra based on the item. If your child has permission to get extras, please be sure that there is money in their lunch account. This includes milk to accompany any home lunches.

HERE is the link for the updated cost of full second breakfast, lunch, and the approximate costs of a la carte items.

Have You Applied for Educational Benefits?

Even though the Minnesota Free Meals Program is permanent, we strongly encourage families to apply to see if you are eligible for educational benefits through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Educational benefit applications (Free and Reduced applications) impact the educational funding that our schools receive and can affect other additional fees.

HERE is the link to our website to learn about how you can apply!
