Being a school employee is unique. What other jobs can you earn respect for dressing like Flo from Progressive Insurance, but get weird looks later when you stop at Hy-Vee? Our middle school teachers had way too much fun with their Rhyme Without Reason dress up day for courtwarming week. Check out Patrick Mahomes and his garden gnomes. Then we have Napolea-ON and some cray-ONs. Finally, our sixth grade teachers dressed as things/people ending with the long o sound. Directions: Work together in the comments to see if we can figure out the other long o sounds, besides Flo. Thank you WMMS staff for our community phonics lesson.

A coworker shared: I had a larger spill in my classroom that needed attention, and Meghan brought the floor scrubber down and took care of it. In addition, she did the rest of my floor, and put my tables back together. I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH!

Roar of Applause Mikki Wouters Preschool Teacher Michelle Stonecipher shared: Ms. Mikki is meeting her students where they are. Along with teaching the MO Early Learning Standards, Ms. Mikki is embracing the many challenges that come with having a diverse class of learners. Her class includes students with hearing loss, vision loss, mobility challenges, and diverse languages. Ms. Mikki is teaching ASL to her students while learning it herself. She is bridging the gaps by providing a learning environment for everyone. She is teaching at its finest! Thank you Ms. Mikki for the love and the content you put in place every single day. YOU are doing whatever it takes to help our students succeed!

It will be a cold school week, remember to dress warmly! As always, we will monitor weather and road conditions for keeping our students and staff safe. There may be days this week where a late start is helpful for safer travel conditions. Remember: No school Monday 1/15/24.

Missouri Winter. Don't forget: bundle up for traveling to and from school--and for those bus stops. Hats, heavy coats, face coverings, gloves, warm socks and shoes.
