Nothing better than some warm weather and a SOTF Spring concert!

Why celebrate twin day when the entire 7th grade team can celebrate septuplet day? Yes, we know, there are only six of them in the library picture, but Mr. Leisher was there in spirit :)

The Spirit of the Falls Music Department is excited to announce the "Going to Disney Spring Concert 2026" on Wednesday March 18th at 7pm in the American Falls Performing Arts Auditorium. Family friendly and the cost is free. This concert will feature the exciting sounds of all 3 of the bands in the program including the 6th Grade Beg. Band, the 7/8th grade intermediate Band and the SOTF High School Wind Ensemble. This year's concert will be extra special because the band has been selected to represent Idaho and perform on the big stage at Disneyland and they will be playing the songs from their California performance for the home crowd. So make sure to mark your calendar for a fun evening of great music!

7th Grade students at WTMS spent a spectacular morning having fun and learning about STEM careers and their accompanying programs at Idaho State University. What a great experience for students and teachers, alike! Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen!

In Mrs. Cysewskis class students are creating their own game board for review questions!

In February our student council planned a food drive competition between our grades. The 8th grade won by donating over 900 food items. Overall, we were able to donate 2,200 food items to the AFSD Food Pantry to help food insecure families in our community.

In 6th grade science we are learning about Newton's Laws of Motion. In this week's experiments we are seeing how objects of different mass move when force is applied and how applying different amounts of force will affect motion of the object.

Our 7th grade and 8th grade boys basketball teams wrapped up their seasons yesterday in the district tournament. These boys and their coaches represented our school and community well, and we can't wait to see what they can accomplish in their future seasons!

Make sure to stop by the library during parent teacher conferences today and tomorrow. We have a book fair and a resource fair going on until 6:30 both days.

We are excited to share our February 6th grade students of the month Addy and Jaethan!

Ms. Foster emphasizes the importance of fitness and fun with a new game, Prison Ball, with her 7th grade students at WTMS.

Once a month each grade takes some time to celebrate students who have gone above and beyond in some way. 8th grade students of the month for February are Shyann Olson and Amalia Morales. The 8th grade learner is Jameson Taylor, leader is Elaine Bennett and succeeder is Madi McCarthy. Congratulations to these students!!

The WTMS Players are currently staging a delightful production of Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Jr. You only have one more chance - Monday night at 6:00 - to see this fun and family-friendly show!

Our 7th and 8th grade boys basketball teams both got wins yesterday as they continue to improve in preparation for next week's district tournament.

Mr. Romeros 6th grade PE Class held their Survivor Championship! The Survivor Champion is Francisco Vega. Also pictured are his Tribe members! Tribe members include: Josee, David, Cristina, Francisco, and Jayden.

Mrs. Jenks Art 4 students created large scale pop art that is on display in our library. Be sure to check them out next week during conferences!

Mrs. Crompton's 7th grade science students designed and tested paper structures to investigate how shape affects strength. This hands-on activity encouraged collaboration, critical thinking, and real-world connections to upcoming science concepts... like the skeletal system! And why our load bearing bones are circular in shape.

Congratulations to our own Ms. Baumgart for winning Region 5 Middle Level Educator of the Year!! She was given the award this past weekend at the annual Idaho Middle Level Association conference held in Twin Falls.
