Free Sports Physicals! See information on the photo.
It's the yearly Book Give Away! This great WMS tradition puts 3 or 4 books in the hands of every student - of their choice, for free, and for them to keep! All that is asked is that they read the books. The students browse tables with thousands of books and "shop"!
This tradition started with former WMS teachers, Mrs. Fennell and Dr. McDonald, dreaming of putting books in the hands of students over the summer months. This week Mrs. Neely and Mrs. Rodrigues continue the dream of keeping a passion for reading alive!
Mark your calendars! 📅 We're pleased to partner with Harpers Ferry Family Medicine to offer free sports physicals to JCS students on Friday, June 9, from 1:30-3:30 p.m. JCS students wishing to receive a physical should report to Harpers Ferry Middle School to complete preliminary paperwork. Please see below for additional details.

Students in Ms Masterson's 8th grade ELA class got an opportunity to show how well they listened to the teacher all year as they played "How Well Do You Know Your Teacher?" They answered trivia about Ms Masterson's movie, music and gaming preferences. Then it was their turn to anonymously write an obscure fact about themselves. Their classmates had to guess who said it. Fun and fellowship abounded! Great after testing stress relief!

Our priority at Wildwood Middle School is the safety of all students and staff. This morning, March 23rd, we called emergency responders to our school to support a student in crisis. This was done out of an abundance of caution and the emergency services were not utilized. There was no danger to students or staff. We are grateful to our emergency responders for their vigilance.
