Happy National Principals' Day to our wonderful leader, Mrs. Hale. She is a blessing to us all. Here's what some of our staff have to say about this lovely lady! "When I think of Mrs. Hale, a few words that come to mind are compassionate, driven, and FIERCE. All three of these attributes make her the best boss to work for and the best principal around. There’s never a moment where she doesn’t support her people, and it’s one of the many reasons we love her. Everyone needs a Hale in their life—but find your own because she’s OURS. 😉" -Brinkley Ashcraft "It is always so evident that Mrs. Hale loves the students and staff at WMS. She is constantly searching for ways to make everyone feel loved and appreciated. She is definitely making a difference in WMS and in me personally by the way she treats people with kindness and grace, always leaving people better than she found them!" -Megan Saunders "Mrs. Hale is very approachable, encouraging and personable with both students and staff!" "Mrs. Hale loves the students and staff at WMS! She goes above and beyond to make sure that WMS is the BEST school around. We are blessed to have her as our principal!" -Melissa Upchurch "Mrs Hale is always so encouraging and positive! She is full of awesome ideas and always is there to help in any way she can." -Courtney Bilo "Mrs.Hale is a “unicorn” principal. She is a rare find. She cares so much about her staff, students, and school, and you can see that in everything she does everyday. She goes the extra mile to get to know everyone that is in our school and it shows. Washington is. Much better school for teachers and students because of her." -Katie Taylor “Hale is a great principal that goes above and beyond to find ways to set WMS apart from other schools. If it benefits the school, she is all in.” -Ethan Kelton "A principal as supportive and encouraging as Mrs. hale is so rare to find and we are ridiculously luck to have her." Ms. Waggoner "WMS is incredibly blessed to have Mrs. Hale as our principal. She stops at nothing to ensure her staff and her students are well cared for and continuously encouraged." -Mrs. Murphy

In Ms. Braswell's AO, students were given a scenario, task and rules. Scenario: Fred is a friendly worm who took his boat out on the lake one day. However, Fred wasn't very smart because he forgot to wear his life preserver! Unfortunately for Fred, a strong wind caused his boat to capsize. Now his boat upside down, Fred is stranded on top, and his life preserver is underneath. Task: Turn Fred's boat right side up, put him back in his boat with his life preserver. Rules: You may only touch the paperclips. You may not touch Fred, the boat, or the life preserver. You cannot let Fred fall onto the lake or he will drown. You cannot injure Fred by spearing him with the end of the paperclip. View the pictures below to watch students solve the scenario.

Levi & Brecken working our Knights Market today. We appreciate these boys and their hard work!

Some of the items available at our market are: hygiene products, fidgets, clothes, shoes, toys of all sorts, jewelry, and much more! Students caught following our ARMOR during the week earn shillings, and use them to purchase from our market. #wmsrocks #everyknighteveryday #goknights #teachingreallifeskills
