The Amazing Shake Competition Team has been busy this week. The team was happy to have Mark Day and Michael Kasnick from Lanxess come in to share insight on how to properly answer interview questions. The team was given questions to read, and then they were broken into groups to discuss those questions more in depth. Thank you again Lanxess for taking time out of your day to help give our students insight on how to properly answer interview questions.
Ms. Escamilla's Science classes dove into a mesmerizing glow lab today! They conducted a thermal energy experiment to explore the relationship between water temperature and the luminosity of glow sticks.
The science behind it is fascinating: The glow stick in the hot water beaker shines brighter because the molecules in hot water move faster due to increased energy. As the temperature rises, molecules gain more energy, resulting in a more vigorous reaction in the glow stick. On the other hand, the cold water beaker has slower-moving molecules, leading to a more gradual reaction in the glow stick.
Our students had a blast conducting this experiment, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Knighton for her invaluable assistance in every class and for baking cookies for our students. Also, a special shoutout to Mrs. Mann for delivering those sweet treats!

The WMS orchestras had the opportunity today to discuss composing with an Arkansas composer, Drew Morris, via Google Meet. They learned about his evolution as a musician; they asked questions about his composing process; they were even able to give him ideas to use in the commissioned musical work that he will compose for our orchestras 5th-12th grade this year. This was all made possible through the EDEF grant awarded to the orchestra this fall.
Don't forget to lay out those outfits, picture day is tomorrow!
Thank you to all the amazing parents and guardians who made our Appreciation Event a resounding success! Your support and presence made all the difference. We are incredibly grateful for your involvement in shaping the lives of our students. Cheers to you!
