Info: We collect pull-tabs at Freeport Middle School! The FMS Tabs collection started in 2009 as a Holocaust project to further teach our students about tolerance and other cultures. Our goal is to collect at least six million tabs. Once we reach our goal, all tabs will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities Pop Tab Collections. We have received over 3,000,000 tabs so far. Please help us reach our goal!  Spread the word, we now have 3,500,000 tabs!

          WMS would like to congratulate Ms. Amy Bennett’s 6^th period class.  They participated in a county wide completion “Read to Succeed Fall Motivational Contest”. It took place from October 27 – November 21.  Participating students were asked to complete eight multiple choice activities in order to qualify for the contest.   Extra points were given to encourage students to do their very best.  To begin with every time a student did an activity their class received one point. Every score of 75% - 87% earned, gave the class an extra two points and all scores 88% and higher generated an extra three points for the class.

          The winning class is the qualified class that earned the most points on average per student within their school. This class not only scored the most points from our school, they also scored the most points in the county.  This class scored an astonishing ninety-four points on average per student.  This was thirty-five points higher than the second place class for the county.   Again WMS would like to say congratulations to Ms. Bennett and her 6^th period class.
