It is hard to believe that we are almost at the end of the first semester.  Thanksgiving is here and Winter Break is just around the corner.  Take  the time this week to give thanks for all the blessings we have been given.

Congratulations to our Chess Team – They competed in the Queens Quest Tournament at Millcreek this weekend and won 3rd Place. Wow….so proud of them.  Members of the team were Alex, Haley, Conner, Ilene and Ben.  Thank you as well to Coach Ed, Mr. Clark and Mrs. Glass.

We Honor All Who Served

 

We had such a wonderful Veteran’s Day Assembly  on Monday.  We had over 35 guests.  It was a wonderful ceremony.  Thank you to all who came.  It truly meant a lot to our WM family.

Thank you to our speaker, Mr. Callandar, the BJHS Honor Guard and the members of the Discovery Middle School Band, former students of West Madison
