Students in Mrs. Smith's 6th grade science class created edible soil profiles in the lab. The edible soil profile lab helps students understand that soil is a product of long-term Earth processes such as weathering, erosion, deposition, and decomposition, while providing an engaging, hands-on model. This lab helps students visualize how soil forms and changes over time. And of course, they also got to eat their soil profiles at the end of the lab!

Youth night at the WHS football game was so much fun. Our 8th grade football team, band and cheerleaders were recognized and participated in the pregame ceremony. The WHS wrestling team was recognized at halftime also. So proud of all these groups. Although we did not win the game it was a great competition. #TheWoodlandWayEveryWildcatEveryDay #WeCanDoHardThings

Our Woodland Wildcats Smash esports team pulled off a team win against Sleepy Hollow Middle School from Sleepy Hollow, New York.

Cooper Oparnica, Colton Bennett, and Nathan Morgan picked apart the competition but were pushed to the final and deciding 5th set. Cooper went with an outstanding strategy in the final set that sealed our Wildcats' victory in a very close first match of the season. Cooper went undefeated in sets going 2-0 on the day.

Group of children standing in a classroom with bookshelves and a large monitor behind them.
6th grade social studies classes worked on six station activities over Europe's geography and economics to review for their Unit CSA. The data shows that this Tier 1 strategy was successful because Mr. Cox and Mr. Morses' students demonstrated brag-worthy proficiency levels on that CSA. They were extremely proud of their students' hard work!

Tonight we celebrated the teachers of the year for @bartow_schools. It was a great celebration. We are so blessed in Bartow to have such amazing teachers. I am in awe of the incredible amount of talent we have in each of our schools. We are especially blessed at WMS to have Vivien Spell as our TOTY. If you are in need of a little inspiration or motivation, go visit Ms. Spell. Huge kudos to all of the TOTYs this year. Being able to have this celebration at the @boothmuseum was such a bonus. #BetterInBartow #WeCanDoHardThings #TheWoodlandWayEveryWildcatEveryDay

Our character word this week is KINDNESS. The definition of kindness is "being of a good or benevolent disposition; considerate or helpful." The quote for the week is from Mark Twain, "Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”

So I get home this afternoon and find this book in the mail, "K is for Kindness." My son gets a book every month from the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. This just happened to be the book he got this week.

As I looked over the book, I had an idea. I challenged our students to put kindness into practice every day this week. It just hit me that I should challenge not just our students, but our whole WMS family, to shower our community with kindness.

You've probably heard about the Random Acts of Kindness campaigns and special days that some communities or organizations use. I want to challenge the community of WMS and Euharlee, Taylorsville, Cartersville and all of Bartow County to shower our comunity with kindness this week. Can you imagine how much good can be done in a short amount of time with just the people in our family committing to do small, intentional acts of kindess. This is the best community I've ever been a part of. You have proven it time and again. Let's do it now with kindness. Let's make our little world a whole lot brighter by choosing to spread kindess to those in our circles. Let ripples of kindness begin to spread all across our community. If you happen to be the recipient of such an act, let us know. You don't have to spend a dime to show kindness. Yet it can make a huge difference in someone's life today. LET'S GO!!! #TheWoodlandWayEveryWildcatEveryDay #WeCanDoHardThings #KindnessChangesTheWorld
