Not only is ultimate volleyball a great way to improve coordination and fitness, but it’s also a game our students love to play! Keep up the great work, WMS students! 💪👏

On this cold snow day we're reflecting on all the fun our students had last week! Mr. Brayfield’s 8th grade science class had a blast with an exciting STEM project!
Students teamed up to design and build their own rockets using straws, paper, tape, and clay. After launching their creations, they measured how far their rockets could fly and made adjustments to improve their designs.
Hands-on learning like this helps students think critically, experiment, and problem-solve—plus, it’s a lot of fun! Great job, future engineers and scientists! 🔬🚀
