Throughout the day, students participated in engaging team-building activities and attended seminars focused on different styles of leadership. They strengthened their communication, built meaningful connections, and grew as confident leaders ready to make a positive impact at WCS.
We’re so proud of these students for stepping up and leading the way! 💪✨
Mrs. Ivey’s 5th grade class enjoyed The Giving Tree read aloud by Ms. Rebecca Ham.
From silly stories to big smiles, our classrooms were filled with the joy of reading and the magic of imagination. Thank you to our wonderful visitors for sharing their time and love of books with our Warriors! ❤️📖
When Students Lead began the work of problem solving and getting to know their colleagues in their one-day student retreat.
What are we really “rebounding” toward?
Rigor = tasks that push students to analyze, justify, create, and problem‑solve – not just recall.
Engagement = students talking, collaborating, making choices, and caring about the work.
During Rigor Rebound we’re asking:
1. Does the learning task cross the Rigor Divide?
2. Do we see multiple qualities of engagement in each lesson?
Every redesign, every walkthrough, every conversation is about giving students a more powerful learning experience — and having fun while we do it.
Comment below: Which do you want to grow more this month – rigor or engagement?

Some of our students proudly participated in the WCS 7th Grade Ring Ceremony, marking an important step in their middle school journey. This ceremony symbolizes commitment, growth, and the responsibility that comes with being leaders in our school community.
We are so proud of each student as they received their ring and celebrated this memorable moment with classmates, teachers, and family. The future is bright for these Warriors, and today was just one more reminder of the amazing things ahead!
Congratulations, 7th grade! 💙✨ #WCSWarriors #RingCeremony #WarriorPride
