This week, we’re celebrating the incredible people who keep WMS running behind the scenes — our kitchen staff and custodial team — as part of Staffulty Appreciation Week, proudly sponsored by our amazing WMS student organizations!
To Melinda, Sherry, and Steven: Thank you for starting each day early to prepare delicious, healthy meals that fuel our students and staff. Your care, consistency, and positive energy help create a warm and welcoming atmosphere in the cafeteria every day. We appreciate your hard work and the love you put into every tray!
To Brady and Adrienne: Thank you for keeping our school clean, safe, and running smoothly. From classrooms to hallways and everything in between, your dedication doesn’t go unnoticed. You are essential to our school community, and we’re so grateful for all you do — often before the first bell rings and long after the last one ends.
Let’s hear it for the amazing teams that make WMS shine — inside and out!

It's Staffulty Appreciation Week! Our student organizations at WMS recognize how hard our staff works to ensure that WMS is the BEST! Today, we want to take a moment to recognize two of the incredible people who keep our school running smoothly and our hearts full — our amazing secretary and our compassionate nurse!
To our Mrs. Christine, thank you for being the friendly face that greets everyone who walks through our doors, the voice of calm in the chaos, and the behind-the-scenes hero who keeps everything organized, running, and on track. Your patience, attention to detail, and daily kindness make a difference more than you know.
To Nurse Annie, thank you for being a source of comfort and care for our students and staff every single day. Whether it's a scraped knee, a stomachache, or just someone needing a little reassurance, you bring calm, compassion, and healing to every situation. Your dedication to health and wellness is a gift to our entire community.
We are so grateful for all you do.
Your hard work, warmth, and professionalism do not go unnoticed — you are truly the heart of our school!
