Saying Thank You at WLMS!

On Tuesday, our sixth graders had an opportunity to say thank you to those individuals and organizations that helped partially fund their outdoor education experience this past spring. We held an assembly where several of our 6th graders shared how much they enjoyed their experience at NorthBay and how much they learned during their 4 day adventure. We recognized Ms. Berla for her her efforts to write a grant that helped fund the buses and several scholarships for students. 

We invited to the assembly Dr. Hance, Executive Director of the Chesapeake Bay Trust and the CEO of triCerat, John Byrne, to thank them and their organizations for their support. We gave both men frames of our school logo which was signed by all of our 6th graders. In addition, we gave them WLMS lanyards.

After the assembly, the sixth graders were divided into small groups and were assigned various activities that helped with improve the environment around our school. They helped to weed gardens, pick-up trash, etc. This supported the mission learned at NorthBay about providing each person with opportunities to acquire the knowledge, values, attitudes, commitment and skills needed to protect and improve the environment.

Once again, we are so grateful to the Chesapeake Bay Trust and to triCerat. We hope you will continue your support of our programs in the future! Thanks to both Ms. Tanner and Ms. Musgrave for helping to organize this special event.
