Western Wayne Middle School Administration has recognized Samantha Duval and Luckus Balmer as outstanding sixth grade students for the month of October.

          Samantha enjoys her library and science classes best this year.  She loves to read especially mystery and romance books.  In her science class, she likes reading and learning about the earth.  When she grows up, Samantha would like to be a veterinarian, and, therefore, she knows she will need to know a lot about science. 

          In addition, when Samantha isn’t reading.  She can be found practicing her flute.  “I’ve always loved music and love to play the flute,” Samantha said.

          In her spare time, Samantha does more reading.  Two of her current favorite books are A Dog’s Purpose and Wonder.

          As a hobby Samantha likes to make rubber band jewelry for her family and friends.  “It makes me happy that I’m making other people happy,” Samantha explained.

          Luckus also likes to make others happy in school by showing them respect.  He said he is working hard this year to participate in his classes especially his math class.

          When Luckus isn’t answering discussion questions in his classes, he can be found practicing his trombone in band class.

          “I like to play in band where I get to work on my music with a lot of kids who are really good at their instruments,” Luckus said.

          In addition to band class, Luckus also enjoys his technology education class.  He explained how they are working on a windmill project made of Legos.  Luckus likes to do hands-on work.

          In Luckus’ spare time he continues to work on his music skills. 

          “I practice my trombone in my spare time, because that way I will get better at it,” Luckus explained.

          Western Wayne faculty, administration, and staff are proud of both Samantha and Luckus’ accomplishments and wish them the best with their continued efforts for success.

Western Wayne Middle School Administration has recognized Mitchell Lunn and Gianna Rosetti, both sixth graders, as outstanding students for the month of September. 

        Mitchell has been very respectful to his classmates and teachers this first month of school.  He has even been seen holding doors open for his teachers.  “It feels good just to be helping people,” Mitchell said.  Mitchell’s favorite class is math.  He is always prepared for class and loves learning about exponents.  Mitchell also enjoys his band class where he is learning how to play the trombone.  In his spare time, Mitchell likes to ride his bike, play video games, and take walks with his mom and two dogs.

      Like Mitchell, Gianna has also been recognized for being very respectful to others at school.  She too enjoys her math class the most.  “It’s a fun class where I get to figure things out,” Gianna said.  In addition, Gianna likes her chorus class where she can develop the quality of her singing.  In her spare time, Gianna enjoys taking walks with her younger cousins. She also looks forward to joining track and cross country in seventh grade.

The Western Wayne community is proud of Mitchell and Gianna’s accomplishments and can’t wait to see what they do next.

The Strengthening Families Program 10-14 returns to Western Wayne School District Wednesday, September 25, 2019.  SFP is designed for 10-14 year old students and their parents.  It is designed to help youth learn about setting positive future goals, peer pressure resistance skills, positive management of emotions, coping with stress and communication skills.  It is a great opportunity for families to work together as their youth transitions to the teen years and adjusts to middle school.    There is an opportunity for parents to develop decision making, establish boundaries, and life skills including stress management, peer relationships and goal setting. It is a great opportunity to meet new families and build on your family strengths.    

The program runs from 5:30-8:00 PM at Western Wayne Middle School.  Each of the seven sessions begins with a family supper. Babysitting is provided for those families with younger siblings.  There is no charge to our families for this project.  Sign-up today by contacting Mrs. Jennifer Bradley, Principal of Western Wayne Middle School, 800-321-9973.
