In the beginning of the year, we started to participate in Math Olympiads. Math Olympiads is a elementary and middle school math competition that covers more accelerated math. This week we announced the two winners for 7th grade and all of the participants got a certificate. Jerson Rosario won 1st place in the competition, and Kaydence Crossley won 2nd place. Jerson also tied 3rd in all grades, and Kaydence tied for 4th.

Latest Class Project
In class we are currently learning genetics. We are also learning about genotypes, phenotypes, DNA, and heredity. Each student has a chance to discover deep into their culture, race, ethnicity, and nationality. We will go as far back as possible into our ancestry. Once we have information we will put it on a poster board to show off the generations.
Tyler and Sky made the basketball team
Congratulations to Sky and Tyler. They made the basketball team out of 32 middle schoolers and only 12 were accepted. Sky and Tyler both won both JV and Varsity by more than 40 pts. Tyler’s number is 5 and Sky’s number is 23. Tyler says he chose #5 because he had that number last year. Sky chose #23 because Michael Jordan wore #23.

6 Word Memoirs
Six word memoirs are phrases that express your self in only six words. These can have different meanings because the person reading it may think you are talking about something other than what you mean to.
Here is an example.
Be Careful! Don’t get too close.
This has a special meaning to it. This represents that someone was hurt when they had to part ways with someone really meaningful and it basically just tore them apart along with their heart.

On September 27, 2016 from 6-8pm WMS students/families attended Open House.
