Mrs. Buck and her students spent time today talking about all the things they are grateful for! Many of the answers included teachers, friends, food, family, sports, and sleep! We hope you get to enjoy many of these things over this beautiful Thanksgiving weekend and come back rejuvenated and ready to take on the last few weeks of semester 1!
Donations Needed
Williston Middle School musicians are performing at the Veteran’s Day ceremony today at the New Armory. Both band and choir students are participating in the event. It is an honor for our students to be included in this event.
The band is directed by Mr. Tyler Heser with assistance from Mr. Bisbee and Mrs. Stepan.
The choir is directed by Mrs. Dominique Lloyd.
Today especially, we want to thank our veterans for their service.
We are very grateful for all those who have served and the families who stand with them.
Thank you to Lisa Webb, George Anthony Smith, and Lamar Murchison who volunteered their time for a special project at WMS this week to help educate our students on what it means to be a vet.
Happy Veteran’s Day.
The PE classes are bowling this week! Fun has been had by all!
One of the ways Williston Middle School is honoring veterans this week is by talking about the significance of poppies and the military. Students are watching an informational video from the History Channel, watching a children’s choir’s performance of In Flanders Fields, and coloring their own poppies. Students have the option to dedicate their poppies to friends and family who have served or are currently serving in the military.
All Williston Basin School District #7 Schools and Offices will be closed on Friday, November 11th in observance of Veterans Day.
Thank you to all who have served.

Mrs. Anderson’s WINN class spent some time this week reflecting together about what compassion and empathy truly mean and how one can have a compassionate attitude. As a kinesthetic addition to the discussion, they painted pumpkins while they were talking.
Student's in Mrs. Lemke's science class were learning about space and studying planets. At the end of their unit, the created inventions that could help them survive on Mars using Little Bits Circuit Kits. Some inventions were temperature sensors and lights that turn on when it is dark. Then they went to the library and practiced their coding skills and used Sphero RVR to "explore" Mars and land on a crater.
