It's Game Day!

Here is what is happening this week at WMS!

The Woodridge Middle School Art Club, sponsored by Macey Bruce, put their creativity to good use by making dog toys from materials donated by students and staff. Today, they donated the toys to Jen Dix from 4 Paws 4 Rescue for dogs waiting for their forever homes.

Tonight is the night! WMS Student Lighthouse is hosting the Woodridge Trunk or Treat from 6-8 pm. Concessions will be sold, including Gus's Pretzels! This will be a cash-only event. We can't wait to see all the spooky ghosts and goblins!

Save the Date for the next Dine and Donate to support Woodridge! This is an all-day event, so spread the word to your neighbors, friends, and family!

This week at Woodridge...

Boys Basketball Open Gym Info! This is open to all students!

Tryouts for the WMS Basketball teams will be Monday, Oct. 27 and Wednesday, Oct. 29. Physicals must be uploaded to Final Forms prior to tryouts.

Today is Custodial Appreciation Day, and we want to give a HUGE shoutout to Ms. Mary, the heart of our school’s cleanliness and care. Whether it's the cafeteria, the hallways, or even the toughest bathroom messes, she never hesitates to jump in and make our building shine.

We also want to extend a big thank you to our incredible night custodians, Dave, Matt, and Beth, who work behind the scenes to make sure everything is spotless and ready for a new day. Your hard work does not go unnoticed!

Thank you to our entire custodial team for keeping our school safe, clean, and welcoming for all!

Another chance to see the VMS and WMS boys' soccer team in action today! Seventh grade will play at 4:30 pm, and eighth grade will play at 5:30 pm. The games are played at Valley Middle School, and there is no admission!

STEM classes are always fun! We stopped in on Mr. Partin's 5th hour Robotics class to see students busy working on their creations.

Woodridge Lighthouse students collected more than 250 games for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates)!

Woodridge events for the week!

Mrs. Brutcher's 7th graders are learning about gravity. Today, they took turns measuring how far they can jump on Earth and then calculated their jumping distance on other planets in our solar system.

The 8th-grade band will be performing the National Anthem with the high school band at the football game on Friday, September 26. We would love to have you there! Students attending the game must be accompanied by an adult.

It's Game Day!
