Recently, some of Mrs. Ellett's 8th grade art students entered the Popcorn Pep Club Contest, which is sponsored by the Popcorn Board.
The Popcorn Board is a non-profit check-off organization funded by U.S. popcorn processors to raise awareness of popcorn as a versatile, whole-grain snack. The Popcorn Board is a national commodity promotion and research program. It was formed in April 1998 as an Act of Congress at the request of the popcorn processing industry.
Our students received an honorable mention
and a $500 award for their efforts!
Way to go students, we are proud of you and your efforts!!!

Many Wayne Middle School students have been "extra" busy lately. They have dedicated time before and after school - practicing, rehearsing, preparing for, and looking forward to their play production of "Who Shot the Sheriff?" Under the direction and encouragement of Andrea Peterson and Toni Lamb, these energetic middle school kids have been memorizing lines and honing their acting skills.
Wayne Middle School offers various College & Career Awareness (CCA) classes. Several 7th graders were enrolled in Mrs. Williams' Family and Consumer Science unit. As part of the curriculum, they were given the choice to create either a rice bag or a decorative pillow.
Students decided on their idea, collected their material and items, measured, cut, filled, and sewed their own project. Mrs. Williams provided guidance and encouragement along the way.
On October 8th, 2018, representatives from Clark Planetarium visited Wayne Middle School. They taught us some interesting information about our Solar System and the Universe, and had some neat displays that taught us about some science facts. Clark Planetarium is located is Salt Lake City, Utah. The planetarium is mainly focused on the science of space, but also offers some other neat and educational displays and activities.
The visit was divided between different grades and classes. During first period, the planetarium’s representative, Thomas, taught sixth graders about the sun, moons, planets, and stars. He showed us a simulation of the locations of the planets in our solar system, and our moon and the stars. The simulation used ratios so you could see what the sky was like in 50 BC. He also used a simulation that showed us the speed of light and how fast it looks while traveling all the way to Mars! At the end of the class (as a bonus) we saw what would happen if the sun was a black hole.
