Congratulations to our Titans on the North Storm '12 Boys White soccer team on capturing the Great Lakes Presidents Cup Championship this weekend at Grand Park in Indiana!

Xander Nash, Adam Thompson, Henry Wiberg, Winston Lamphere, Waylen Lenz and Ben Zeedyk will join Anderson Repke in Kansas to take on the Nation. Let's go WEST!

We just can't stop celebrating our AWESOME Titans! ⭐

Today, we're excited to share one final Titan Star recognition featuring students who consistently demonstrate leadership, kindness, and a commitment to going above and beyond each and every day. These students make WMS a better place through their positive attitudes, strong character, and willingness to support others. We are incredibly proud of the example they set for their peers and the impact they have on our school community.

Congratulations to Hazel Tew, Shyler Slater, Tucker Mullin, Charlie Moore, Everett Forster, Trevor Intrieri, Alexia Westover, Madison Cunningham, Kotey Turland, Luca Portillo, Grant Covell, Harley Pickard, Joelle Renault, Annabella Crane, Grace Mead, Evan Bilacic, and Autumn Heck.

On Friday, June 5, West Middle School ESL students and National Junior Honor Society members spent the day exploring the Botanic Garden, enjoying a unique opportunity to learn, create, and connect with nature.

During their visit, students toured the grounds and had the chance to explore several exciting new additions to the Garden, including the recently renovated barn, silo, and cooking kitchen. They also learned about the history, purpose, and future plans for these beautiful spaces.

A highlight of the day was placing the hand-crafted fairy houses students created along the Fairy Garden Trail. The fairy houses helped prepare the trail for its official opening on Sunday, June 7, when the fairies were invited to move into their new homes! Students took great pride in seeing their creativity become part of this special community display.

The trip provided students with meaningful opportunities for learning, collaboration, and service while celebrating the beauty of the season and the importance of community partnerships.

A wonderful day filled with creativity, discovery, and connection!

Our WMS Choir students once again showcased their tremendous growth in musical talent, confidence and performance skills at our sing-A-Thons. From beautiful full-choir selections to outstanding solo performances, our singers truly shined on stage and made us proud.
