#WPMSREADS
At WPMS, we place a strong emphasis on literacy. Students are encouraged to read books that interest them, as well as books on their lexile level in order to keep them interested but also keep them challenged.
Check out our many resources to assist with research needs, including databases, search tips, help with the research process, etc.
Spelling Bee
WPMS has an annual Spelling Bee. ELA classes conduct a bee to choose a winner to compete in the school-wide Spelling Bee. Sixth-eighth grade students will compete in this bee as representatives from their ELA classes. The school winner represents WPMS at a regional competition against other area school winners.
