MIDDLE SCHOOL

Wolf Nation Families, this is it! May is
our last full month of school and the end
of FSA Testing. FSA Tests are done for
7th and 8th grades on May 15. Please
check the school website for specific
subject-respective testing dates at
browardschools1.com/westglades.
Wear your fastest shoes and best
cape and join Westglades Student
Government on Saturday, May 6, for
the Superhero 5K Run/Walk. Our
teachers and staff have formed many
running teams. Come out, exercise as
a community, and have some fun. This
event wouldn’t be possible without our
awesome volunteers and sponsors.
Special Thanks to our Diamond
Sponsors for this race: Law Office of
Joseph L. Kohn, Malka & Kravitz, P.A.,
Northwestern Mutual: The Striano
Financial Group, and Rick Case Weston.
Monday, May 7, is the beginning of Staff
Appreciation Week. Don’t forget to
show your appreciation to our amazing
teachers and staff. We are very fortunate
to have such a great team. We want to
thank them for their love and dedication
to our children. Let’s show them lots of
love during this special week.
Also during the first week of May, we
will have our Spring Spirit Week. Look
for the different themes we will have
every day to show school spirit. We
will be showing support by wearing
WMS apparel and other fun activities
every day. We have a couple of exciting
surprises for this week.
A Teacher planning day is scheduled
for Friday, May 25; there is no school for
students on that day. This will be a nice
long weekend since we have the day off
on Monday, May 28, in observance of
Memorial Day. Remember that the last
day of school is on Wednesday, June 6.
Good luck to all our students that are
finishing up FSA Testing this month.

you goes out to our community’s families
in attendance, enthusiastic presenters
and performers, and local vendors and
restaurants for, once again, making this
event a terrific success.
Staff Appreciation Week will be the
week of May 7. Please look for more
information from both the Heron Heights
