We would like to thank the BRPD Community Policing Division who teamed up with WHAM students to round out Red Ribbon Week. The students had a blast!
Ms. Katrice Hall, our WHAM Computer/Technology Specialist, has recently received the distinction of Nearpod Certified Educator. She is now joining thousands of exceptional educators around the world in transforming instruction with Nearpod. Way to go Ms. Hall! You can visit her website at https://khalltech.weebly.com/about-computer-lab.html.  The WHAM 5th grade choir will have their debut performance during the Kiwanis Pancake Festival on Saturday, October 27th. They are set to perform during the first division which will begin at 9:00 am. Tickets can be purchased at the door for $7.00 and includes breakfast. For the past few months, several of our 5th grade students participated in a cardboard arcade challenge sponsored by EBR Foundation and the Knock Knock Museum. We are pleased to announce that two of the arcades, Air Hockey Extreme and ROLO, will be presented at Knock Knock on October 27th from 10:00 am -1:00 pm. Admission cost to the museum applies. Wildlife Warrior Week is NEXT WEEK. It is a fun week for all so make sure to sign up.
