Good afternoon WHMS. More science scholars at work. Students in Mr. Bauer's Living Environment class are preparing for their next PBL about the human immune system. Student voice & choice make the learning stick. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

Students in Ms. Pusateri's science classes are learning about forces (e.g. pushes and pulls). Here Christopher is using traditional pencil & paper while referring to the notes in his Google Classroom. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB #RamPride

Ss in Ms. Gould & Mr. DeVivo’s 8th grade science class learning about the Mohs hardness scale for minerals by actually testing various samples. Hands on learning! @whufsdrams @smurraylb #Ramresolve

Friday means Ram Pride Awards at WHMS. Congrats to Steve and our other nominees for their persistence and responsibility. You're exhibiting the powerful Habits of Mind that lead to long-term success. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

The MS fall sports season is underway. Here our football team preps for practice with Mr. Bauer. Don't worry, those big gaps are for social distancing, but will close up on the O-line. No gaps for opposing RBs to run through at game time! @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

The learning doesn't stop at WHMS just because the bell rings. Here Mr. Hochler provides after-school instruction to one of our budding percussionists. Students have many opportunities to extend the learning. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

Students in Ms. Ferrante's Studio Art class created monochromatic portraits of celebrities (including some WHMS celebrities). The process was painstaking but the results are extraordinary. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB
