WMS Weekly Memo

Weekly Update for WMS

Good afternoon, Westbrook Middle School students, parents, and guardians. Please read the following updates from Westbrook Middle School.

 

Rock of Ages

Westbrook High School Theatre invites you to their fall musical production, Rock of Ages! You have two more opportunities to see the show. I went last night, and it is not to be missed! The set alone was worth the price of admission (it was unbelievable!), but the talent showcased by the students (both cast and crew) was off the charts. Come see what the buzz is all about; they’re just getting warmed up. Tickets are available on the Westbrook High School website, or you can click here to access the ticket page. Adults are $15 / Students are $12. Please, reach out to Rachel Kurek (rkurek@westbrookctschools.org) with any questions.

 

Giving Tree

Westbrook Youth and Family Services, Westbrook Social Services and Westbrook Middle School are supporting children and families this holiday season through our annual Holiday Giving Program. We are supporting local families through our Holiday Giving Tree. Beginning December 1, select an ornament for a gift card or item to purchase. Drop donations in the main office by December 8th with the ornament attached. Thank you for your kindness and generosity this season!

 

Hoop Shoot Contest

The Westbrook Elks Lodge #1784 will be hosting their Annual Hoop Shoot Contest during our middle school gym classes on December 1st and 2nd. The parents of the top scorers in each category will be contacted by the Westbrook Elks to discuss the next location phase advancement. Below are some contest details. 

  • Middle School contestants compete in one of four divisions:  Boys, ages 10-11; Girls, ages 10-11; Boys, ages 12-13; Girls, ages 12-13  
  • If the contestant will be age 10 or 11 on April 1, 2026, they shoot in the 10 to 11 age-group. If the contestant will be age 12 or 13 on April 1, 2026, they shoot in the 12 to 13 age-group. If the contestant will be age 14 on April 1, 2026, they are too old to participate.  
  • Participants take 10 free throw shots to start and then after the round come back to take another 15 for a total of 25. 
  • Top scorers in each category will advance to a District Hoop Shoot, then can move on to State, Regionals and Nationals which will be held in Chicago on April 18th. (All travel expenses are paid by the Westbrook Elks Lodge.)

The Elks Hoop Shoot Contest is a free throw competition for youth ages 8 to 13, sponsored by the Elks organization. Participants compete through local, district, state, and regional contests for a chance to reach the national finals. The ultimate goal is to become one of the six national champions, whose names are then inscribed in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. 

 

PTO Call to Action

The middle school PTO is looking for members. Our Parent Teacher Organization builds community; supports student learning; fosters communication between families and the school; supports our faculty, staff and administration; and raises funds to enhance educational programs and school activities. They are looking for members and individuals looking to take on some leadership positions in the organization. If you are interested in learning more, please contact PTO president Laura Furcolo.

 

School-wide Read

Daily, until the winter recess, we will be reading a book by Daniel James Brown called The Boys in the Boat. This book details how the working-class rowers from the University of Washington’s crew team shocked the country when they qualified to compete in the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games.  As a school, we will be reading, learning and discussing how the various themes enclosed in the chapters coincide with the skills and attributes outlined in the district’s Portrait of a Graduate (PoG). As students read, the work will act as catalyst for PoG-based discussion and processing.  Kudos to Amy Gallagher and her School Wide Read team for putting together an organic, meaningful and enriching way for students to live the Portrait of a Graduate and learn about an important time in human history in a meaningful way.
