Great things are happening at WCS!

The count is in, and as a school we have earned over 250 Wow Tickets for positive behavior and good citizenship. For meeting this goal, the students were treated to a whole-school recess on Thursday afternoon. The weather cooperated, and for 15 minutes, the whole school got to play outside, all at once. We are proud of our Wildcats, and really enjoy the opportunities we get to celebrate together as a community!

Another season of dodgeball intramurals has come to a close. While the teams battled it out, one emerged victorious. Congratulations to "The Staff Infection" for winning the championship. We'd also like to thank all of the teams that participated: The Wet Willies, The Jean Champions, Peanut Butter, and The Big Monkeys, for playing their hardest and making this season so fun.

On Tuesday, Mrs. V, our Speech Language Pathologist had a chance to speak with students about being a veteran and the two tours of duty she served-Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom. She dressed in uniform and showed a slideshow, describing what they ate, where they slept, all the places she went in the Air Force and Air National Guard. Through her military service, Mrs. V has traveled 20 of 50 US States, Germany, Ireland, Belgium, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait! During the presentation, she shared all of her military medals and pins, and she broke open some MREs (Meals Ready to Eat)-military food packs. She explained how it was so hot in the desert, they would put food like spaghetti and garlic bread outside on a rock to heat up! We are proud of Mrs. V's service to our country and her dedication to our students.

Next week is your final opportunity to purchase Wicked Joe Organic coffee from a WCS middle school student to support their trip to Washington, D.C.

The Coffee is $14 per 12 ounce bag, and students will earn $5 from each bag they sell. The money they raise will be attributed to that individual student, and held in an account to help pay their share of their 8th grade trip to Washington, D.C.

Be sure to pick up a bag for the coffee drinkers in your life, and feel good about supporting our students at the same time!
