West Lincoln Middle School is proud to recognize Jennifer Radebaugh, 8th Grade Science Teacher, as our November Staff Member of the Month! With nearly 20 years of experience in education, including six years serving the WLMS community, Jennifer brings a passion for teaching and a genuine love of learning to her classroom. Her goal is to help students understand that science is all around us and connected to nearly everything we do in our everyday lives. She believes that understanding science helps students make connections to the world, explore new ideas, and discover how things work. Most importantly, Jennifer wants her students to realize that science doesn't have to be complicated or boring. It can be exciting, hands-on, and FUN!
Jennifer brings that same enthusiasm and creativity beyond the science classroom. She helps make our hallways fun, welcoming, and presentable by creating balloon arches for every occasion, adding a little extra excitement and celebration throughout our school. Whether she is sparking curiosity in the classroom or brightening the halls of WLMS, Jennifer finds ways to make our school a more engaging and enjoyable place for students and staff. Thank you, Jennifer, for your years of dedication, creativity, and the positive difference you make in the lives of our Chiefs! We are grateful for the heart, dedication, and belief you bring to Chief Nation every day. Congratulations, and thank you for making a difference!

Impromptu guest speaker! Mrs. Martin’s 6th graders had a “treat” today when Mr. Martin shared the world of Interior Design, Product Development and Engineering with them. He’s been a furniture designer/engineer for 23 years, so he had some interested students asking questions about his line of work, furniture design rules and laws. They had a little lesson on measuring lumber, and learned how furniture companies get their lumber from lumber distributors not known retailers the average consumer or smaller business might purchase from.
Students set the groundwork weeks prior learning about basic engineering and manufacturing concepts, the impact of technology on engineering over the years and building several projects along the way with Mouse Trap Gameboards, K’nex, paper bridges and then popsicle stick bridges. Their foundational knowledge and understanding allowed them to ask great and insightful questions.
We move on to building and design as we prepare for our Wild West Christmas event in December students will help make decor for the event while applying the concepts they’ve been learning in all grades - technology, engineering and robotics.
Building, product design and development and the soft skills needed to work with others toward one end goal all fit these CTE content areas while meeting the need of decor for our school event coming up. This also exemplifies Leader In Me skills as students witness staff collaborating across the building for one unified goal to bring about this event for them. Modeling the leadership students study and work to achieve is critical for their success.

What is Title I, and why does it matter?
West Lincoln Middle School is a Title I school. Title I is a federally funded program designed to provide additional resources and support to schools to help ensure all students have opportunities to achieve academic success.
But Title I is about more than funding. It is about building a partnership between school and home!
At WLMS, we believe parent and family involvement makes a difference. Title I Family Night is an opportunity to:
- Learn more about how Title I supports student learning and academic achievement.
- See how your involvement positively impacts your child's education.
- Connect with teachers and other WLMS families.
- Celebrate what our students have learned through fun, student-hosted academic games.
Our goal is simple: Stronger partnerships create stronger opportunities for our Chiefs!
Dinner is on us!
One large Domino's pizza for every family!
Every family attending will receive one large pizza to take home at the conclusion of the event.

In honor of Veterans Day, our Emerging Leaders class is organizing a school-wide Field of Flags to recognize and honor the veterans who have served our country. Inspired by the DAV Field of Flags, students and staff will have the opportunity to submit the name of a Veteran they wish to honor.
With the support of local business sponsors, our Emerging Leaders students will place a flag for each honoree in a designated area on school grounds beginning November 9. The display will remain in place for one to two weeks as a visible reminder of our gratitude and appreciation for the Veterans in our families, school, and community.
Through this project, we hope to bring our school together in recognizing the sacrifices and service of those who have defended our freedom. Please click here to complete a form for a veteran you may know! https://bit.ly/4kbo0jp
