🎲 Math in Action at WMS 🎲
Learning probability is anything but ordinary in Mrs. McCluskie’s Math Lab at Washington Middle School!
Students explored probability stations using everyday math items to see how chance and outcomes work in real life. Hands-on learning makes math come alive.

History came to life for our 6th graders during their field trip to the Fort Massac Encampment!
Students stepped back in time to experience what daily life was like in the 1700s and 1800s for American, French, and British troops as well as Native Americans. They explored hands-on demonstrations like blacksmithing, basket weaving, and hide tanning, discovering the essential skills people once relied on to survive.
A big thank you to the reenactors and organizers who made this living history experience unforgettable for our students!

🛼 Rolling into positive behavior 🎉
Our WMS students celebrated positive behavior in a BIG way with a field trip to the local skating rink for their PBIS party!
Students had a blast roller skating, playing arcade games, winning lots of prizes, and socializing with their friends!

Our high school FFA recently presented to Mrs. Williford’s 7th and 8th grade PACE classes at Washington Middle School.
This is a great example of our JCHS students inspiring our middle school students, sharing their passion for agriculture, leadership, and hands-on learning with younger students.
We love seeing our older students step up as mentors and role models!

Today kicks off National School Bus Safety Week.
Remember, always stop when the stop-arm is out for school buses—it’s the law! ✋ 🛑 Flashing red lights and a stop sign ALWAYS mean it's time to keep kids safe.

Our WMS students in Mrs. Kerley's seventh-grade social studies class have started studying the Industrial Revolution. They participated in a hands-on activity yesterday, simulating an Assembly Line.
Each team had to work together to draw a toy soldier- one section at a time. The students could be fired from their jobs if they weren’t working quickly enough or if they didn’t draw their part well.
The timer was set at 5 minutes to complete 20 toy soldiers. While none of the teams completed the goal, they experienced some fun frustration in their attempts to make it happen.

It was all smiles and sunshine at our Student Council Fall Dance! 🍂
Our 5th through 8th-grade students had a great time last Friday, listening to music, enjoying face paint, playing on the playground, and snacking on pizza, candy donuts, and other treats!
