Mr. Murray began today with a video lesson about the Habit of Mind of Taking Responsible Risks. Adolescents are natural risk takers, but we must learn to take responsible risks. Apply prior knowledge; consider consequences. Ask them about it! @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

Our students beat the rain yesterday and all contributed to putting #RamFam on the fence of our field. It was a team effort to kick off Red Ribbon Week at WHMS. Thanks, to Ms. Lubliner for planning and Ms. Ferrante for helping with the letters. @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

There was a big delivery today of cinderblocks and concrete to start putting the walls up for our gym expansion. Before too long it will go from skeleton to building! @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

Found these amazing anchor charts in Ms. Healey & Ms. Kiernan's room. Teaching students using the writers workshop approach means having resources for students to turn to for better independence. That's #RamResolve from our teachers! @whufsdrams @smurrayLB

Here are some of our fleet of foot cross country stars at yesterday's meet. Alijah, Kyle, and Christopher were winded from their efforts but managed to still put on their game face for the camera. Good work! @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB
