WELCOME 9TH GRADE SPARTANS
25 07 2008We were DELIGHTED to have 291students at our Spartan Academy orientation last Tuesday and Wednesday. Students met in the auditorium and then proceeded to breakout sessions.
The sessions were centered around 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, our WAVE program, a map/web quest and advice from our Leadership Association. A highlight was two hours of team building led by our Student Council.
On Tuesday afternoon we attempted to show The Great Debaters but technical difficulty prevented students from seeing the entire movie. After classes on Wednesday Mr. Sutton cooked out hot dogs for everyone. Games were available inside and outside.
Students agreed that the orientation was a success.
Thanks to students who came and to teachers and students who led the sessions. We can’t wait to see you all on August 11.

My daughter had a great time catching up with her classmates from WSMS and making new friends. I truly believe that the orientation was a great icebreaker and will make her transition to highschool much easier. She couldn’t stop taking about how much fun she had. Kudos to WSHS and faculty for making this possible for our students!
Thanks so much for the positive reaction. We work very hard to help our students feel welcome and valued. We’ll be here if there are any questions or problems. Thanks again for taking the time to write.
