KET @ WMS
Last week, Mr. Daniel Armstrong from KET came to speak with our Digital Literacy students and taught them about the many uses of green screens. Students were able to take this knowledge and create their own breaking news segment. What a fun learning experience!
INDUSTRIAL ARTS
Our Industrial Arts students have been working hard, preparing items for their big sale on the evening of Trunk-or-Treat. What will you plan to purchase?!
COLLEAGUE CREDIT
Mr. Scott Bowling shares that Mr. Jeremiah Haywood recently jumped in and helped to hang bulletin boards for an Industrial Arts display. The extra hands were definitely appreciated! Thank you for being a team player, Mr. Haywood!
OLD FASHIONED DAYS
As they do every year, our music students performed amazingly well at this year's Old Fashioned Days event. Great work, Wildcats!

Girls Varsity Basketball (10 - 12 Players)

Grades 7 through 9 will fill this roster. Coaches will be looking at young, willing-to-learn players to develop and add to the program. Again, there will be some overlap with junior varsity and varsity rosters to fill this team.

VISUAL MEDIA GETS THE SHOT
Last week, Shane Runion, our district's Director of Communications, spent time showing students how to capture the best photographs possible in any setting. We'll be sharing their photography in the coming days and weeks. Stay tuned!
HOT BROWNIES, ANYONE?
Students in Mrs. Shannon's Hospitality and Tourism class made fresh brownies for last week's open house guests. Students even used fresh eggs freshly gathered from our very own chicken coop. All reviews point to DELICIOUS!
SPOOKY SEASON ARTS AND CRAFTS
Students in our Cats' Creations class learn how to DO IT ALL - designing, creating, packaging, and even marketing! With some very exciting events on the horizon, they are currently working to craft a bulk supply of products. To say we're impressed, well, is certainly an understatement!
Make certain to grab a $15.00 Halloween paint set today. There are only three left in stock. Leave a comment on this post if you would like to claim one for Spooky Season fun.
