WMMS Tiger Times

I can't believe we're close to completing our first semester! I trust that you all enjoyed time with your students home over break last week. I was happy to see them all back at school and hear about their adventures. Students recently showed support and appreciation during our Veterans Day assembly presented by their peers and participated with their advisory classes making posters for the event. The assembly was well attended and we look forward to next year! The high school gave us a treat and performed the musical and our students were excellent audience members! The show was enjoyed by all! We've got some fun days planned for students to celebrate the end of the semester and continue to build our positive school culture. This is a very busy time of year so be sure to check out our events calendar below and come support our students if you get the chance!
