WRMS field improvement progress report

Dear WRMS Community,
Our West Ridge main field improvement is progressing along nicely.  In the picture, you can see that the field has been leveled, prepped for the turf surface, both goal posts installed, scoreboard erected, and retaining walls built to hold back any water and run-off from rain from the track and field areas.  It won't be long until the track and turf are laid and installed.  What a wonderful surface for our students and community to play and practice on!  We will have strict restrictions regarding no animals or sugar-based drinks allowed inside the the track and field areas.  Will continue to keep you posted as promised on additional progress!
GO WILDCATS!

Lunch with two 8th graders this week!

One of the things that absolutely makes my day is to have great interactions and times with my students.  Whether it be in the hall, the cafeteria during lunch, in the gym, at concerts or athletic events, or by having lunch with them.  This week, as part of the Health curriculum, 8th graders enrolled in the class invite various staff members and parents to lunch.  The students plan the menu, either prepare or purchase the meal, research the ingredients/calories, grams of fat, write up a report, and then have the lunch with the staff member or parent.  It is such a great time and one of the highlights of my year.  My particular lunch prepared by these two terrific girls was: A very special turkey, cheese, tomato, pickle and onion sandwich on sourdough bread, pita chips and humus, strawberry shortcake with whipped cream and lemonade!  It was awesome just like the two students!~
