MHS hosted our annual Title 1 meeting and “Souper” Reading Night on January 31. Families were served soup and sandwiches for dinner. Parents then visited the classrooms with their children and were given different strategies to use at home to help their child reach their reading goals.

The 7th Grade Assessment for DNA asked students to CREATE a DNA molecule out of red licorice, toothpicks and marshmallows. This model not only had to be correct in its base pairs, it also had to take the correct form! Students were nervous about this not traditional assessment, but they all did AMAZING! We are extremely proud of our students at WMS!
