We love seeing our students make meaningful connections with the text through thoughtful annotations!

Students in Dr. Witt and Mr. Dedenbach’s classes put their annotation skills to work as they explored texts focused on the human brain. Their notes and connections showed great engagement and curiosity as they dug deeper into the material. Awesome work, Titans!

Our amazing WMS students were welcomed this morning with a spectacular sunrise AND a sunrise rainbow! What a beautiful way to begin the day.

Surely, it’s a sign of many more bright moments, new possibilities and wonderful things ahead. Here’s to a fantastic day, WMS!
