WMS Wins Again at WEF's Annual Spelling Bee!
AND THE WINNER IS… THE WMS SPELL-TICS!!! 🏆
After sweat, suspense, fierce focus, and a buzzy battle to the very last second… our incredible WMS team — Ms.Stark, Ms.Sciera, and Ms.Trofatter — rose to the challenge and WON the 36th Annual WEF Spelling Bee! 🐝
Their championship-clinching word? “Ailurophile” — meaning a person who loves cats. 😺📚
And they spelled it with absolute confidence!
That’s TWO years in a row for WMS! Last year’s WMS 8th graders took home the trophy with the word: nucivorous
Huge congratulations to our champions — we’re SO proud of you!

WEF Speaker Series: Dr Rachel Kramer
A big thank you to all the parents and caregivers who joined us for our very 1st WEF Lecture series event of the year, “How Big Is This Problem? Teaching Children Skills for Managing Stress.”
Dr. Rachel Kramer shared insightful and practical strategies for helping children manage stress and build emotional resilience. Parents walked away with valuable tools and ideas to support their kids’ well-being at home and school.
We are so grateful for this engaged community that continues to come together to learn, connect, and grow.

Spotting Red Apple magnets and amazing teachers at back to school night 🍎
It’s that time of year again when parents march in our children’s footsteps and see what a day in their life at school is like! For WEF board members it is always a delight to meet teachers that proudly display their Red Apple magnets in their classrooms! Pictured here is 6th grade math teacher Holly Marquedant. 🍎
