Students in Ms. Barkhurst's and Ms. Barbknecht’s classes explored a hallway “photo gallery” at WMS. They examined historical images from the 1920’s and 1930’s and analyzed and evaluated how American life transformed between these two decades.

Primary kicked off their Fall Parties with a spooktacular costume parade! Our littlest Wildcats and their teachers were dressed to impress as their families and friends cheered them on!
After reading Wishtree by Katherine Applegate, Ms. Butera’s 4th grade students were inspired to create their very own Woodland Wishtree!
Students began by writing down their wishes, then headed out to the school courtyard to choose a tree where they could tie their wishes. What a wonderful way for our Wildcats to bring this story to life!
