Mrs. Gowers’ first graders are participating in a snowman exchange! Letters and snowmen are received from other states. They are learning about state birds, flowers, teams, class sizes, and many other fun and interesting facts! As they receive letters, each state is recorded on a map ! They are so excited whenever a new letter arrives!
Wishing a warm welcome back to our fantastic students! We're excited to see you back in the classroom. Let's make the most of every learning opportunity in 2024!

West Rock rocks! 6th graders had a blast learning about the mill. They learned how the mill converts their own energy, and how they recycle and reuse materials in the process of making paper. The highlight was making their own sheets of paper from pulp just like the mill does!
In Art/STEAM classes this week, PK-2nd grade students designed “traps” for capturing a snowman after listening to the story How to Catch a Snowman by Adam Wallace and Andy Elkerton. Students (and Mrs. Hixenbaugh!) are hoping to be able to build a real snowman this year!
Students at WPES were treated to some special stories this week from special readers. Our own West Rock Paper Mill shared employees with us to read to our students. We are thankful for great partnerships within our town!
Friday, January 12th will be Hat Day at WPMS/HS! See the flyer for more details.
