Today we held our first ever Semester Celebration at WMS! Since we have been unable to have BLITZ Days this year due to COVID restrictions, we felt it was important for our students to have a POSITIVE, fun day, to celebrate how much we have accomplished this year! Our teachers did a great job of creating fun activities for the students in their individual classrooms. Looking forward to a GREAT last 4 months of school! GO DEMONS!!! #WMSDEMONS #GPSPRIDE

Starting tomorrow, 1/26/21, WMS will have a slightly altered schedule for the remainder of the school year. We will revert back to having a home room to start the school day. To accomplish this we shortened passing time back to 4 minutes (as it was previous years). Students will start school 2 minutes earlier (7:58 am) and will be dismissed at the same time 2:46 pm. Class periods will stay the same length as they have been this year. We are hopeful this additional time in home room will help us better support our students. If you have any questions about this, please call 377-2356. GO DEMONS!!! #WMSDEMONS #GPSCOMMUNITY

WMS Staff Member of the Month for December: CONGRATULATIONS to Sherri Nissley- WMS School Counselor for being selected for her hard work and dedication to our students. Mrs. Nissley.....YOU ROCK!!! #WMSDEMONS #WMSSTAFFMEMBEROFTHEMONTH #GPSPRIDE What was your favorite thing to do during the COVID shutdown? Play board games with my family What is your favorite outside activity? camping Why did you decide to work at WMS? I grew up in Glendive and have always had an attachment to this town. At the time the position at WMS became open, I was dating a man who lived in Glendive (who later became my husband). Thankfully, I got the job, and it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. If you could be any cartoon character who would you choose and why? Fiona from Shrek. She is kind and accepting of other people, she is not perfect, and she doesn’t worry about what others may think of her. What is your favorite quote? “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Eleonor Roosevelt
