Today was a special milestone for our WCS 7th graders! 💙💍

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

Miss Watson’s first grade class had the sweetest opportunity to spread a little love this Valentine’s Day! ❤️
Her students created Valentine cards for individuals in a local adult day program here in Columbus County. They talked about kindness, inclusion, and how small gestures can make a big difference.
She is so proud of her first graders for using their creativity and big hearts to brighten someone else’s day, in The Warrior Way!!
