SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENTATION
WCS is partnering with the Williston Reparative Board to bring a social media presentation to middle school students and parents. There are three presentations-- one for 5th and 6th graders, one for 7th and 8th graders and one for parents-- each focused on developmentally appropriate issues related to safe social media use.
We highly recommend the parent presentation to gain a sense of the issues which arise and the present solutions. It will also provide you with insight as to what your son or daughter learned in their presentation. Click on the flyer below for more details.

CULTURAL STUDIES CELEBRATION
We had a lovely celebration on Friday the 22nd with students sharing artifacts and food from a culture of their choosing. Many students chose countries with personal connections, while others chose to study new distant lands. We truly appreciate the support provided at home to make this all happen!

They will create focus questions, find resources, create an outline, take notes, write a report and present a visual over the month of January. Brainstorm potential topics with your son or daughter over vacation so they have some ideas about what they might want to study when they return.
