WMS 5th graders had a special visit today from Todd Beal with the National Weather Service in Memphis! He spoke to students about severe weather, helping bring their recent literacy module to life.

This hands-on learning experience helped students better understand weather safety, forecasting, and real-world applications of what they’ve been studying in the classroom.

A big thank you to Mr. Beal for sharing his time and expertise with our students! 🥰❤️🤍

Join us this evening for the WHS Choir Spring Concert at 6:30 PM in the FAC!

Our talented Warriors have been working hard and are ready to share an evening full of great music and energy. You won’t want to miss it! ❤️🤍
