7th grade math wrapped up their unit on proportional relationships by making a collaborative poster. Each student wrote their own example of a proportional relationship and represented their example with a table, graph, and equation.
The students had fun making up their own examples and some even incorporated their own interests, such as welding and sports.

Dear WHSD Families and Staff,
I am writing to inform you of an unfortunate incident that occurred today after school, where a student was struck by a vehicle in our parking lot. Out of respect for the privacy of the student and their family, we will not be sharing further details at this time. Please join me in extending our thoughts and support to the student’s family during this difficult time.
We understand that this incident may raise many emotions, concerns, and questions within our school community, especially for our students. Please know that the district’s student services and leadership team immediately began working with both students and staff this afternoon, providing support and resources to help everyone navigate this situation. We will continue to offer assistance in the days ahead as needed.
We are committed to ensuring the well-being of our students and staff and appreciate your understanding and support as we work through this challenging moment together. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to any member of our team.
Sincerely,
Michelle McGrath
District Administrator
7th grade ELA gave impromptu speeches to help prepare them for giving 2-3 minute speeches on a research topic this week. Each student picked a topic, such as are cats or dogs the best animal, who is your personal hero, or convince the school board you should have your day off school. Then they had 30 seconds to think about the topic before delivering a 2-3 minute speech to a partner and then to a small group. The speeches were very entertaining to listen to, and the kids got more comfortable talking in front of a group of people.

The MS Student Council collected over 30 items for Jane's Journey Home, a place for senior dogs! 💚
Any student who donated had an opportunity to put their name in to be drawn to "pie" a teacher. Teachers volunteered to be on the list. Donors voted for who they wanted to get "pied" of those on the list.
For every 10 donations, one teacher would get "pied". The 3 top voted-for teachers received this honor at Friday's assembly.
Thank you to Mr. Newton, Mr. Hruby, and Mr. Bradley for volunteering and receiving the top votes! 😁
Thank you to Ms. Sammie for finding such a great program to support and for delivering the items! Some senior dogs🐶 are going to have a great holiday!
