Students of the Month for March-May. Congrats to all of these amazing students on their well-deserved honor!
Don't forget 6th grade is going to the Museum of Idaho tomorrow. They will need a sack lunch.
We would like to give a huge shout out and thanks to Cory Greenwood who came out to speak to a few schools today. His message was powerful, yet simple: Your story matters.
WTMS parents: please remind your students to bring their Chromebook, charger, and case with them today so they can turn them in to their homeroom teacher.
The buses coming back from Boise are running a little late. We should be pulling into the school between 7:45-8:00.
The 8th grade had a fun-filled day in Boise. We started off by touring the Capitol building where we were able to go into Governor Little's office and the House Chambers. Then we headed to the Anne Frank Memorial to learn more about her and human rights. From there we went to the Boise Zoo and got to see some cool animals. We ended the day at the Old Idaho Penitentiary and learned some interesting facts about Idaho's first prison. Thank you to all students, staff, and parents for such an amazing day.
Thanks to AFHS student leaders for coming over to talk to our 8th graders about all of the club and sport opportunities they will have next year. We are proud of the partnership we have with AFHS and know our outgoing 8th graders are headed to a wonderful school!
Attention parents/guardians of 8th grade students: Just a reminder we are going to Boise tomorrow. All students need to be at the school no later than 5:45 am. All students are REQUIRED to wear their 2023 Pride Week shirts, long pants (no sweats/pajamas/joggers), a light jacket and comfortable walking shoes.
It is preferred that lunch is brought in something disposable since we will be heading from lunch to the zoo with no stops at the bus. We will be gone for 13 hours so please make sure to send plenty of food and drinks. We will not be stopping anywhere that food can be purchased from. Breakfast will be provided by the school.
No blankets, pillows, or Chromebooks allowed. Students will be responsible for everything they bring. We are looking forward to a great day full of adventures!
The 8th grade students held their annual Science Fair last Thursday, May 11th.
3rd place went to Hojany Aguilar and Carlos Palacios.
2nd place went to Kerlyn Mendez, Valerie Rios and Carmen Carlos.
1st place was a two-way tie between Bryn Adair, Yareli Carrillo & Brylee Hodgkiss and Daniela Anzar, Kaitlyn Madden, and Jaslynn Bribiezca.
Thanks to all that participated and stopped by the fair.
The 8th grade Science Fair is under way in the WTMS
Dance tryouts coming up tomorrow!
Our track team wrapped up their season (and the 22-23 WTMS sports season) as we hosted the District V meet on Friday. We had lots of PRs and great efforts. Great job, track and field athletes!
WTMS families: the safety of students and staff is our top priority, and we need your help to make school arrival and dismissal a safer.
Please, please use the proper drop off zones (which are circled in yellow) when dropping off or picking up your child. The yellow arrows show student routes to enter the building. The Pocatello Ave. zone works great when traveling southwest into town. If you are heading out of town, it is most convention to use the Bannock Ave. zone so your child doesn't have to cross the street.
Please do not use the teacher parking lot or the bus lane to drop off or pick up your child. Doing so creates serious safety concerns.
We appreciate your help in this matter.
Spring Pictures will be happening on Tuesday May 2nd. This year we will be doing individual, homeroom, and spring sports pictures only. Group photos will not be done this year.
