The Western Wayne Middle School continued their tradition on the last day of school which was Thursday, June 6, this year. It is called the 8th Grade Final Walk. As a final activity before leaving the building to move on to the high school, 8th grade students took a walk through the hallways appropriately led by their principal Mrs. Jennifer Bradley who will be leaving the Middle School this year for a position at another district.
Bradley led the procession through the hallways of the middle school and received flowers from 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students along the way. She received a bouquet at the end along with many well wishes from students, faculty, and staff who lined the hallways and then went with her outside of the building to celebrate.
Mrs. Bradley has been principal at the Middle School for the past five years and says she will always remember the wonderful experiences she had with students and staff in the building.
Everyone in our Western Wayne Middle School family was happy to celebrate Mrs. Bradley’s last day with students and wish her the best in her future endeavors.

Western Wayne Middle School 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Chorus students enjoyed their annual field trips on some beautiful days in May. The 6th Grade Chorus went on the Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour and enjoyed singing mining songs that they had prepared as they learned about our area’s rich coal mining history. The 7th Grade Chorus learned about the music and history of the 1960s and went to Bethel Woods where they performed a song on the grounds where Woodstock took place. The 8th Grade Chorus enjoyed a day of fun and friendship at Knoebels as they prepare to move up from the Middle School to the High School.

Western Wayne’s Select Chorus, under the direction of Middle School Chorus Director Joyce Covaleski, performed at the 30th Annual Generations Sing! Concert in November.
