WMS Congratulates 2019 6th Grade Tropicana Speech Winners
December 19, 2019
On November 22nd, two class winners from each sixth grade ELA class at WMS competed in the schoolwide 4H Tropicana Public Speaking Contest. Each student pushed his or her jitters aside and bravely took the stage, delivering the speeches they'd planned, written, and practiced. Students were judged for both the composition and presentation of their chosen material. The following students walked away from the competition victorious, making their teachers, peers, and families proud: (L to R) Chandler Shoaf--3rd place; Dosier Gossman--1st place; Maddie Baur--2nd place.
On Wednesday December 18th the FHS football, volleyball and softball student athletes visited some very deserving FES students to spread some Christmas cheer and deliver some presents from SANTA himself! We have all heard of the naughty and nice list, but these students were on a very elite list…..THE SUPER NICE LIST, and they were rewarded for their behavior! The FHS teams were able to deliver presents to 70 students and there was plenty of Christmas cheer to fill the entire school!
