A big “THANK YOU” to the parents who volunteered in Miss

- In qtrs 2 & 3, our curriculum is focused on indoor
activities, due to the cold weather. This provides us
with the opportunity to have students utilize
FITNESSGRAM, a personal fitness assessment program.
This program measures a student's level of fitness
according to age and gender. This data is analyzed to
determine the trends and the general health of our
students. This data is accumulated for their 3 years @
WMS. This assessment determines their fitness goals
through high school. For more information, check out
