EIGHTH-GRADE SPOTLIGHT Ms. Melissa Travis shares that she calls Ruthie the "Keeper of the Guinea Pigs". She cares for them every day and treats them like her own pets. She started doing this without being asked and even brings them an orange every day. She's precious! The guinea pigs, and Ms. Travis will miss her next school year! We are so proud of this Wildcat, and we can't wait to watch her grow!

LOVIN’ THE LUAU At Wurtland Middle School, our eighth-grade luau tradition continued this year! With the weather being a little wetter than we would’ve preferred, we moved this year’s event into the gymnasium. From our limbo tradition to Kona Ice, amazing door prizes, and musical hula hoops, we had all the fun! We owe a special note of thanks to the amazing members of our faculty and staff who made the dance special for our students! It was a tropical delight!

EARTH DAY OUR WAY To recognize Earth Day on April 22, students in Mrs. Brumfields classes watched a video clip and discussed it as a class. Then, students chose an additional source of information (articles with video clips) to complete tasks to demonstrate their understanding. Some students chose to respond in writing, while others chose more artistic options, creating flyers with information about Earth Day. Both tasks required students to use standard English conventions while demonstrating understandings of key concepts and ideas. GREAT WORK, WILDCATS!
