Cloudy with a chance of... great students!! 6th grade Career Investigation Students researched to learn more about a meteorologist, explored weather videos online, and expressed interest, if any, in learning more about this career. Do we have future meteorologists in the house?! 🌦️☀️🌩️
Mrs. Jones makes osmosis awesome!!! 7th grade science students demonstrated the concept of osmosis by using potatoes and real salmon eggs in saltwater and fresh water. They measured and observed how their items changed after sitting in different solutions. According to the students, the coolest part was feeling the difference in the salmon eggs. Science Rocks, and so does Mrs. Jones!🐯🧡

Local Schools Tighten Security After Online Threats
Both Schools Systems Have Deemed The Threats Non-Credible
👉https://myhyperbole.com/news/local-schools-tighten-security-after-online-threats/
Good afternoon,
As always, thank you for your continued support, cooperation, and collaboration as we work together for the health, safety, and instructional needs of our Fredericksburg City Public Schools community.
As promised, we want to follow up on last night's message in order to keep you informed.
As you know, there are local, state, and national rumors for a Friday, September 13 event. Today, we have received no additional information, no evidence, and no proof of any violence to our schools. Out of an abundance of caution, increased police presence will continue.
We thank families who have advised their students against spreading rumors, particularly those that could cause undue fear in our community.
If you have credible information concerning a threat to our schools, contact a school administrator or school employee. As with any emergency, please contact 911 if your information gives rise to that level.
We want to reiterate that safety and security are our top priorities and always will be.
Thank you.
The Family Community Picnic originally scheduled for Thursday, September 26 has been cancelled.

It's Spirit Week at Walker-Grant! Today was Multicolor Monday to celebrate Arts in Education Week. Only fitting that we showcase Ms. Johnson's colorful chorus class. 🧡🐯 Tomorrow is Teal and Purple day to spread awareness of National Suicide Prevention Day and encourage positivity.
🏛️ We were honored to have State Delegate Cole visit W-GMS last week. He took time to connect with our students and even posed for a picture with Mrs. Curran's 7th-grade Civics class. A memorable moment for our future leaders! 📸🐯Thank you Delegate Cole and Mrs. Curran! #WalkerGrantMiddle #CivicsInAction #CommunityConnections #FAMILYOFLEARNERS"
