The Wolverines hosted their first home meet of the season this past Saturday, welcoming athletes from across the region for a full day of competition on the track and in the field events. From sprints and relays to pole vault, javelin, and jumps, WHS athletes opened the season with strong performances and great energy in front of the home crowd.

Today, students in Mrs. Rhode’s 8th grade science class at Woodland Middle School took part in their first Dino Dig Day. The classroom turned into a hands-on fossil site where students recreated fossils, dug through materials to uncover buried discoveries, and carefully chipped away at rocks to reveal dinosaur bones.

Activities like this bring science to life. Instead of only reading about paleontology, students experienced the process scientists use to study the past, practicing observation, patience, and discovery along the way.

Woodland Middle School students put their learning on display for Black History Month.

In Ms. Sheahan Smith’s ELA classes, students researched influential African Americans and used what they learned to decorate their teachers’ doors in honor of those individuals. Each door tells a story and highlights someone who made a real impact.

It was more than a project. Students worked together, shared their discoveries, and filled the hallways with meaningful history.
