🐾❤️ Congratulations to Our WMS Interact Students! ❤️🐾
Today, several of our outstanding 7th and 8th grade students were recognized at the Middle School Awards Ceremony for their commitment to community service through Interact Club.
Throughout the year, these students dedicated their time and energy to making a positive difference in our school and community. Their willingness to serve others, volunteer their time, and step up when help was needed reflects the very best of what it means to be a Panther.
As their advisor, I have truly enjoyed working with this group of young leaders. They brought enthusiasm, creativity, and a genuine desire to help others to everything they did this year.
Congratulations on a job well done! Thank you for your service to our school and community. I am proud of all that you accomplished and look forward to working with another great group of 7th and 8th graders next year.

It was wonderful to see our 7th and 8th grade Interact Club students taking the lead and working with 1st and 2nd graders at South School on Earth Day crafts today! They did an outstanding job, and the project was entirely their idea.
Thank you to Mrs. Wheeler and teachers for being such gracious hosts. We had a great time and are already looking forward to coming back again soon!
