On Saturday 30 of our 7th and 8th Grade musicians auditioned for the Junior District Music Festival. ÌýThese students had to perform a prepared piece, sight read music on the spot, and perform a variety of scales in front of judges in a very rigorous audition process. ÌýTheir preparation, progress, and conduct is truly commendable. ÌýThank you for being stellar ambassadors of ÎÞ¾¡×ÊÔ´²É¼¯ Middle School.

Congratulations to all ten of the ÎÞ¾¡×ÊÔ´²É¼¯ competitors at the Mathcounts Chapter competition on Saturday. Our team finished 2nd place and will advance to compete at the State meet next month. Special shout-out to 7th grader Max Wang who took home the winning trophy on Saturday.Ìý

Black History Month, also known as African American History Month, takes place every February to honor the accomplishments of Black people in the United States and the important roles they have played in the past and the present. Starting today, WMS will be asking daily trivia questions as we learn more about Black History month.ÌýOur first question is: “Whose refusal to give up her seat on a public bus sparked a boycott of Montgomery, AL buses from 1955-1956?” If you think you know the answer, come down to the main office and make your guess. We will have prizes each week.

6th grade students in Ms. Moore’s tutoring program, please report directly to the library after school today.

The bus to Boston will leave at 3:30 today. ÌýThe late bus in ÎÞ¾¡×ÊÔ´²É¼¯ also leaves at 3:30. All students need to listen for the PA announcements for their departure from WMS.

Have a good day everyone!
