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

Last week, Mrs. Miller held one of her famous escape rooms for her 8th grade ELA classes. The escape room was called "Escape from Area 51." Students were given Top Secret UFO files and had to read and answer questions about the non-fiction articles. Once the questions were answered they were given clues that aided their escape. Students had a really great time working together in teams and solving puzzles in order to escape!

Last week in Mr. Farmer's 7th grade math class, students practiced their Indirect Measurement lesson by finding the height of a flagpole and tree. They were able to do this by measuring their height in shadow length to predict how tall the flagpole and tree were. A real world math application AND some glorious sunshine - a win-win!

Congratulations to Lacy Morehead who is our October Staff Member of the Month! After 17 years in education, 10 years serving in Lincoln County Schools, and 9 years at West Lincoln Middle School, she continues to make a lasting impact on the lives of our students.

Serving students in 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade EC, they embody what it means to be a Chief Nation educator, someone who believes that every child deserves someone in their corner. Their commitment goes far beyond academics. They help students build confidence, find their voice, recognize their potential, and learn to advocate for themselves.

Their greatest goal is simple but powerful: every student leaves their classroom knowing they are capable, valued, believed in, and loved.

Our Lady Chiefs beat R-S Middle 11 to 3!!

After falling down 2-0 in the first inning, our ladies fought back to a 5-2 lead at the end of the second inning and never looked back. These ladies showed class in victory and demonstrated all five core values: Character, Honor, Integrity, Excellence, and Fearlessness. Congratulations! We are proud of you.

It all started with "ELA" during the first few weeks of the semester, where students laid the groundwork—taking notes on robotics, decoding tech terminology, and building the foundational knowledge needed before touching a single piece of hardware. Who knew reading and writing would be the secret launching pad for "Engineering"?

Now, the real madness (and magic) has begun. Hands-on with the VEX IQ 2nd Generation kits, these middle schoolers are transforming plastic gears, pins, and motors into custom-built machines. The room and halls are buzzing as students flex their creativity, showing off unique builds that combine pure imagination with real-world "Science" and "Math".

Students are currently testing their "Computer Science" skills with Block Coding the Robot Brains: Programming motors and sensors to bring these creations to life. We're "gearing" up for Classroom Competitions: Testing their bots in castle crashing and obstacle challenges. Watching these students turn abstract STEM concepts into moving, functioning robots proves one thing: the future is bright, and it’s being built right here at WLMS.
