WELCOME TO THE FINAL EDITION OF THE GRIZZLE FOR THE 2016-17 school year!
Spring Pep RallyBy Staff Writer Brianna
The day before spring break ended with an exciting pep rally. We all packed into the stuffy gymnasium to watch everything unfold. It began with coaches and advisers recognizing their players and students as basketball, wrestling, Academic Challenge, Power of the Pen, and Spelling Bee participants. Next up was the student vs. staff basketball game, which was truly the highlight of the whole pep rally. As yelling echoed throughout the gym, each student began cheering for the team they wanted to win. By the time the game ended, the 8th graders had won a thrilling victory. This was the first time the students had beaten the staff since 2014, making it a huge accomplishment. The 8th graders celebrated their big win, and they were one point closer to winning the spirit trophy. The game was followed up by a cheering contest between the two grades. It ended in a tie! To settle the draw, the wrestlers came out and tried to make as many baskets as they could. It was 7th grade vs 8th grade, and the 7th graders walked away with a victory...and the spirit trophy. Even if those soon-to-be 8th graders beat us almost high schoolers, we’ll for sure win once we have a chance to face off in high school. Until next time, 7th graders.

A Happy Habitat; The New WMS CourtyardBy Staff Writer Brianna
Photography by Alex Birds chirping, new plants growing, some much needed fresh air...the new WMS Courtyard is beautiful! Whether you’re eating lunch at a picnic table or just enjoying a stroll in the sun, you’ll definitely want to visit the new courtyard. With all new bird houses and herbs that we will soon be able to use in FCS, the courtyard is now more useful than ever. It is even registered as a Wild Schools Site. This is quite the honor, and we should be proud of the people that have put in so much hard work to achieve this. It’s now possible for teachers to take their lessons outside in the courtyard. Yes, I said outside. No more desks and stuffy classrooms, because we have the ability learn outside in the sunshine and fresh air. A special thanks goes out to the guys that worked rigorously day after day to beautify our courtyard; they did a fabulous job and their effort is commendable.

Moving On UpBy Staff Writer Paige
The time has come! We are approaching our last weeks of school and preparing for summer. I’m currently an 8th grader, so I will be moving up to the overwhelming and intimidating high school. This might sound a bit negative, but I’m pretty sure that 9th grade will be a great year! If you’re moving on up to take my place as a new 8th grader, all I can say is to be prepared. Personally, going into 8th grade last year, I thought that it was going to be a breeze. I found out that it wasn’t exactly as easy as I perceived, but you will have loads of fun and also an unbelievable amount of work. A piece of advice is to choose your path wisely, do all of your work, and make lasting friendships that will get you through high school. If you’re are a newly minted 9th grade like me, then I think we should embrace what the high school has to offer and make sure we make the most out of the four years. I don’t know about anybody else, but I can’t wait to be in the student section cheering on fellow classmates during all of the sporting events. Not to mention the added freedom, and being able to take classes that align with our interests. Let’s not get too caught up in the whole excitement of the new school year to come, but to finish off this year with a bang.
