SPLASH - WMS Pool Party

Wayne Middle School students enjoyed a special treat the last Friday in August.  At 10:00 am, they walked down to the Bicknell pool and had an opportunity to have an after school swim.  Mr. Peterson (Wayne Middle School Principal) used the time to welcome students back after a long, hot summer, and to celebrate the start of the 2018-2019 school year.  The students had fun frolicking and splashing each other, and trying to get the teachers wet.  All of the teachers were in attendance to help supervise, and life guards were stationed and extra-attentive.  Sherry Ellett (our Art Teacher), was acting as the primary life guard that day.  In the coming month, Wayne Middle School will use the pool as part of its physical education program.  Students will go to the pool during their PE class to learn the basics of safe swimming, and how to use and enjoy a pool safely.  This activity was a great way to start the school year, and we are looking forward to more exciting activities "sandwiched" between days of high-quality classroom instruction!
