Three students from Mrs. Fredrick’s 25-26 yearbook class earned the opportunity to travel to Middlebury College in Vermont with the What’s the Story Young Filmmaker’s Social Action Team. These students created documentaries on important social issues and presented them at an international showcase with other students from across the country as well as Canada and Columbia. While in Middlebury they toured the college, explored Vermont’s nature, gained new skills, and made lasting friendships. Congratulations Khloe Hudson, Kamryn Shannon, and Liv Srour! What a great way to end your 8th grade year! To view all of our class’s documentaries, see the links below.

West Middle renovation made a beautiful retirement party a little difficult, but AI helped us out on the backgrounds. 😂 (you will see the one untouched space in the real photos) West Middle is better for having had these educators. You will be missed, Melani Clark, Angie Lewis, Stacy Story, and Matt Albertson 💙 ❤️

WJMS Football Announcement!

🎵 Happy Trails to You🎵🎵

​The dedication, the sweat, and the pure speed on display today was unmatched at State. We are so incredibly proud of this entire squad. Way to represent! ​RECORD BREAKERS! 🛑⏱️ The boy just shattered the ALL-TIME SCHOOL RECORD! ​RELAY DOMINATION! Both the 4x100m and 4x200m relay teams left everything on the track!

The team who was here on their 1st day of 6th grade, and who will wave them off as head to the high school on their last day of 8th grade.

Let's not forget the teachers who made this a possibility! For all the lessons, for all the tests, for all the grades, and for all the love.... we thank you.

It was such a special night for these new high school freshman! Way to go WJMS 8th graders.

Wow!! Three years ago they were nervous 6th graders and today they becam high schoolers!
