Thanks to these hard working students in the Fired Up after school program we have a beautifully clean campus. They decided to spend Earth Day giving back to make their part of the community clean.
Parents and guardians: Be looking for important information in your student's Wednesday folders today along with their 3rd trimester midterm report card.
We have spring and homeroom pictures tomorrow as well as cheer tryouts for all incoming freshmen at the high school.
We have also included our ISAT schedule along with some tips to help make your student successful during testing.
Thank you for the continued support!!
Ms. Clark's 8th grade Science classes took on the role of authors and created their own children's books about the water cycle. They are currently on display in the WTMS library before heading over for students in the Fired Up After School program to read.
This Thursday we would like to invite the community to join our 5th graders and 7-12th grade band students for a great mini concert put on by members of the US Army Band. The concert is free and open to the public to attend. Concert is in the American Falls High School auditorium and starts at 9:30 and will be over right around 10:00am.
This concert will also feature American Falls very own Nick Tolman.
We are so excited to host members of the US Army Band, including WTMS/AFHS Alumni Nick Tolman.
They will be performing a free concert on Thursday Morning April 11th @ 9:30am in the AFHS Auditorium. We will have students attending the concert but there will be room for community members and veterans to attend this amazing event!!!
As many of you may have already heard, our community recently lost Mrs. Jeanne Anderson. Mrs. Anderson was a pillar of WTMS for many years and one of the very best teachers we’ve ever had. She influenced the lives of hundreds if not thousands of students. All of her students knew she cared about them, and all of them were better math students after leaving her classroom. Her former colleagues will also greatly miss Mrs. Anderson.
There will be a Celebration of Life Open House for Mrs. Anderson at the Millhouse Event Center on April 11th from 4-6 pm. Light refreshments will be served.
Additionally, the family has created the Jeanne Anderson Memorial Fund with the Bank of Commerce in AF. Mrs. Anderson loved animals almost as much as she loved people. So her memorial fund will be used to help care for local animals and to host spay and neuter clinics. In lieu of flowers, food, or other gifts, the family would ask for donations to be made to this fund.
Our thoughts and our thanks also go to Rockland Pharmacy, who originally shared the information about the celebration of life and the memorial fund.
Great free concert this week. Come out and hear the award winning bands of AFHS and WTMS @7pm this Wednesday evening!
Check out this amazing opportunity for middle school students! An informational parent meeting will be held Tuesday, March 12th at 6:00 pm in the middle school library.

Our own amazing Jess Rutledge was recognized by the Idaho Lottery as one of 34 2024 School Heroes from around the state. She was nominated by fellow staff member Jennifer Neeser-Curzon. Thank you Jess for all you do for our school and students! Your efforts are seen and appreciated greatly!!

A group of teachers and administrators spent the past 3 days in Boise at the annual IETA conference. They spent their days in a variety of sessions learning about new technology tools and other ideas and visited with vendors. On Friday afternoon our own Nathan Lammers and Myriah Leischer presented on Engineering Design for K-8 students. They cannot wait to come back and share what they have learned with their students and staff.
Congrats to our students of the month, and thanks to Tres Hermanos for helping us celebrate!
This weekend, eight of our awesome teachers gave up their weekend to attend the Idaho Middle Level Conference in Caldwell. There, they learned from other middle level educators in the state and shared some of their own experience and wisdom.
One of the highlights of the conference was our very own Mr. Leisher being named the IMLA Region V Educator of the Year! Congratulations, Mr. Leisher, and thanks to all the teachers who attended.
