We are grateful for some of our amazing WSMS educators like Ms. Campbell, Ms. Rogers, Ms. Smith, and Ms. Perez. Each of these educators partnered with Workforce Solutions for North Central Texas to participate in the 2024 Summer iWork Externship program. They gained valuable information on current workplace practices, tools, software, current trends, in-demand skills, and more! This experience enhances their practices to better prepare students for the future!

🌟 WSMS Student-Superintendent Connection Council 🌟
Last week Superintendent Kordel met with the Willow Springs Middle School Connection Council to discuss Bump-Up Day and how to support incoming 6th graders. Students shared advice on building relationships, managing time, staying organized, and embracing new opportunities.
Lovejoy ISD is proud to support student leadership and excellence!
#LovejoyISD #BumpUpDay #OneHeartOneLovejoy
Today was Bump Up Day at WSMS and excitement ran high as we welcomed the 6th graders from Sloan Creek to experience the greatness of middle school! We had a pep rally where the LHS A Capella blew us all away with their performance; the 7th grader cheerleaders led us in a spirit yell; Mr. Lewis & Coach Ramos spoke about the ROAR (respect, ownership, attitude, and resilience) culture here at WSMS and then led a FUN teachers against students "seated" basketball game! We ended with a stunning performance from the WSMS dance team and a greeting by our leader, Mrs. Eldredge! Students then toured the building and enjoyed lunch in the cafeteria before listening to our student panel and heading back to SCIS. The 6th graders were so respectful and attentive. WSMS was impressed! We can't wait to have them on campus in August!

The first week of February began with the WSMS Garden Club cleanup day. Students and families pulled weeds and cut back the dead winter growth in the pollinator beds. 7th grade science students analyzed how pollution can affect the groundwater in a watershed with this engaging lab experiment.
We ended the week by honoring our indispensable WSMS counselors with lunch and a personal song sung by our PALS students! We appreciate all you do for students and staff! ❤️
WSMS has been super busy bringing in this new year! We spent January honoring our incredible LISD Trustee, Julie McLaughlin! Our PALS students enjoyed treating her to donuts and some treats from our campus. She was then kind enough to sit with us and answer questions from students. We thoroughly enjoyed her insight as she shared her experiences and excitement for serving our Lovejoy community. Thank you, Mrs. McLaughlin!
We would like to personally invite you to see RODGER AND HAMMERSTEIN'S "CINDERELLA" this Thursday, Friday or Saturday at 7:00 pm or Saturday at 1:00 pm. Students get discounted tickets!

Well.....That's a wrap for semester 1 at WSMS!! Exams are all finished, and students & staff are all ready to enjoy the holidays with family and friends! We wish every one of our Lovejoy families a safe and restful break! See you next year!!! #2025bestisyet2come
Break? What break? Students at WSMS are still rolling along!! Last week was busy with performances & learning. Choir, band, & orchestra all sang and played us into the holiday season. 🎶8th grade science was classifying stars for an ADI learning experience. Art students used candy to create cool still life pictures. TX History students expressed their Texas know-how in the form of ugly Christmas sweaters! 🤓 And WSMS teachers began planning for next semester! But, the piece de resistance was Friday’s face pie of Mr. Lewis to celebrate 7th grade’s win for the least amount of absences challenge! Now, it's on to conquering semester exams! GO LEOPARDS!
Even as the holiday break approaches, there is no shortage of learning & FUN going on at WSMS! History classes engage their brains with a round of “fact or fib”. Math scale factor practice = festive holiday decor! ⛄️ Science classes deck the hallways with their knowledge of Newtons Laws in Systems. Our dance & color guard teams strut their stuff at the Winter Pom performance, and UIL begins its preparations for a big win in the spring!
