On February 16th, WMS 8th grade Lifetime Activities students participated in an archery competition. The Competition was held at the Salt Palace.  This was a new experience for many/most of the students. A combination of excitement, curiosity, and a little (maybe a lot for some) nervousness was felt by all. As one student mentioned, "We had to shoot in front of a lot of people.  It was scary at first. When I started to shoot, I wasn't really scared anymore. I actually think I did quite well."

On Tuesday, February 12^th, Wayne Middle School had another successful year at Brian Head Resort.  The sun was shining, the weather was pleasant, and the surroundings were beautiful.  A ski trip can always be considered a success when you have sunburned faces, tired kids, and sore teachers.  Plus, there were no major injuries!  While there were no rides on tubes or toboggans, there were some amazing tricks, and some epic crashes (you know who you are 🙂).

On February 14th, 15th, and 16th, Wayne Middle School held a dinner theater at Loa Elementary School, and performed the play “Who Shot the Sheriff?”

The play takes place in a small town in territorial Wayne County in the late 1800’s, when someone in the town shot Sheriff Dan.  After the unfortunate shooting of the county Sheriff, Sheriff Dan, no one was quite sure what to do.  Miss Samantha, a concerned citizen, rode out of town to find a new Sheriff.  To the surprise of the townsfolks, Sheriff Sam Purdy came to their rescue.  The play’s plot progresses in an attempt to find out who shot Sheriff Dan.  Was it Miss Twitty, the owner of the Sarsaparilla Saloon, Frank the bartender, or maybe the old prospector, Smiley?  In the end, it was an unexpected character, Lily Bell, who was responsible for the shooting.  If you weren’t able to attend, you really missed out!
