Seventh graders listened to a scary reading of Edgar Allen Poe’s “A Telltale Heart” while drawing with highlighters under a creepy glow of a black light. They could retell the entire story even though it’s a difficult text. What a great group of ghouls!--
Recently WMS students participated in Red Ribbon Week. Thanks to everyone who participated.

Monarch butterfly caterpillars have been found munching on the Swamp milkweed planted by Mrs. Randecker's Ecology classes last year! The goal is to provide pollinators such as bees and butterflies with food and an opportunity for everyone in the High School to learn about Missouri's native plants. The Monarch butterfly and caterpillar sightings prove the garden is a success!
Starting in April, both Ecology classes labored to build the garden, rake the soil, and help plant the plants, which were donated by local Master Gardeners Paula Bridges and Donna Aufdenberg. Also, as an Earth Day project, Ecology students made "Toad Abodes" from clay pots. These pots provide shelter for toads or other critters that may find their way into the garden.

Mrs. Stegeman’s Business Management class started the year off with a team building activity called Helium Stick. Students shared a common goal of moving the “helium stick” to shoulder length. At first, the activity seemed simple. Students quickly learned they had to work together through communication and collaboration to get the job done!
