ARCHERY CLUB
ART CLUB
Mrs. BACON'S ART CLUB
The Thursday afternoon art club is to expose
interested students to different media and techniques that may not be
available in their general art classes. The students will be able to
experience clay, basket weaving, painting and other activities that may be too
expensive to introduce to an entire grade in the regular art curriculum.
Students are able to choose from at least two activities each activity period.
This club is made up of mainly a craft based activities, but depending on
student interest, and authorization, the students can also paint murals in the
school. There is a multi-media approach in which students can expand, and
explore more media, and their talents.
TUESDAY'S WITH MS. T
The goal of this club is to link the subject of
Art to everyday life, Functional Art, as well as to further each
student’s development with various materials and techniques. Students will
construct functional pieces of jewelry using leather, plastic, stainless
steel, and beads. Also, they will construct various forms of clay pots and
boxes, make Mardi Gras masks, make an animal using plaster craft.
CHEERLEADING
The West Shore Cheerleaders help to promote school
spirit. Some of the activities we are looking forward to are cheering at the
ever so popular St. Patrick's Day parade, Student-Teacher softball game,
Student-Teacher Basketball game and visiting Law cheerleaders as guest
cheerleaders. GO WILDCATS!

be role models and peer educators for their school and community. The Natural
Helpers get involved in fundraisers and many community service projects for
various charitable organizations.
WSMS NEWS TELEVISION
Our goal is to create an 8th grade student staffed
television studio that will produce quality live morning announcements,
utilizing our video distribution system, and produce segments on various
school activities. The morning shows will be broadcast in house to all
classrooms that serve our staff and student population. Each student will be
instructed in the TV reporting skills of: inquiry, scripting, and public
speaking. They will then rotate throughout the TV crew positions of:
director, camera person, reporter, writer, and editor.
