The Middle School students will be having their second annual yard sale October 22. If you have items you would like to donate please drop them off in the MS room on October 21. Due to space restrictions we can not store items prior to the 21st. The proceeds will help the students fund their out of class experiences the 2011/2012 school year. Thanks to the WMPCS community for the support of the Middle School.
Middle School out of class experiences - An out of class experience has the potential to unite manual and intellectual work, showing them to be complementary components on the path toward a “civilized existence.” There is no more complete lesson than those that can be found in camping, service projects, urban and farm studies. Here students reinforce their content material with its practical application while continuing to develop their skills as part of humanity. Students develop feelings of empathy and understanding, altruism, community, independence, and interdependence. The fragile state of an adolescent is nurtured and supported while the student continues to gain the skills and confidence of adulthood.
