2011 Middle School Cheerleading Squad

The middle school was very lucky to have such a talented cheerleading squad this year.  The interest in cheerleading has grown a lot over the years, and continues to.  We had a squad of 18 girls and 1 boy, and their hard work and dedication made them one of the best squads the middle school has ever had!

2011 was the first year we were able to perform at football games!  We cheered at 2 football games, and were a crowd favorite.  The season continued into the basketball season, when we cheered for 7^th and 8^th grade girls and boys basketball.  It was a busy first semester, but the cheerleaders stayed focused and maintained their positive attitudes throughout.

Because we had such a talented squad this year, the cheerleaders were able to achieve new levels of stunting, jumps, and technique.  They also made up their own cheers, chants, and routines.

We are very proud of the squad we had this year, and we are looking forward to seeing what next year brings!

The 2011 Wright City Middle School Boys Basketball Season was recently completed with a good deal of success. Both boys teams, 7^th and 8^th grade, played extremely hard and with a great deal of enthusiasm.

The 7^th grade boys, coached by Andrew Rudolph, played a very competitive schedule but that did not deter them from giving their maximum effort every game they played. Even though their record did not show success in the win column, their willingness to learn and desire to get better made their season a success!! Kudos to the7th grade boys’ team and Coach Rudolph for their determined effort all season. They will only get better and they are looking forward improving their basketball skills as 8^th graders.

The 8^th grade team, coached by Dave Chapman, was an exciting team to watch this year. As the 7^th grade team did, the 8^th grade team also played a competitive schedule. At the end of the season, the 8^th grade team could count six wins in their win total, which made for an excellent year.  Yes the team had a winning record, but the biggest winners were the players themselves. Like the 7^th graders, the 8^th grade boys played with enthusiasm, heart, and passion!! They were a great group of boys to coach because they were willing to listen and learn, and played as a team!! The 8^th grade team has a bright future ahead of them at the high school level.  Congratulations 8^th grade boys for a great season!!!!

Luau Book Fair!

Preview day is Wednesday, February 1. Sales start on February 2 and end February 9.

This week my students have been working on Discovering the Mood with Music. We have been listening to different composers and genres of music and sketching while we listen. Each student will be picking their favorite sketch and then we are going to add color and actually use paint to convey the feeling of the piece to others. The Middle School Choir has been working on “Rock Around the Clock” to be performed for the PTO breakfast and tour this coming Tuesday. We have also started working on music for our spring concert.
