WHY WURTLAND?
CAREER and TECHNICAL EDUCATION CLASSES
As Kentucky continues to focus more and more on trades-based professions, we at Wurtland Middle School are working hard to expose students to a variety of career and technical education classes. Agriculture, industrial arts, journalism, health sciences, digital literacy, and career explorations are only a few of the pathways that our students can pursue.
Our students are traveling new roads, and we're with them through every mile!
IT'S GAME DAY FOR OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL MUSKETEERS!
WHY WURTLAND?
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
Did you know that Wurtland Middle School has worked hard to build unique community partnerships? Last year, Wurtland Middle School became the first middle school in the country to collaborate with Habitat for Humanity. We are now receiving support from many local businesses, such as Sage & Root and Appalachian Folkology. What's more? We're even collaborating with our local carpenters' union!
At Wurtland Middle School, we believe in collaborating, and our partners are helping to make a difference in the lives of our students!
EdRising
In our Specialty Speaker Series, EdRising students were treated to a visit with Mrs. Renee White. Mrs. White spoke with students about the education and training needed for a career as a Speech Language Pathologist. She taught students about viscosity with food thickener and apple juice and let students explore her teaching tools, manipulatives, and assistive technologies. We appreciate you so much, Mrs. White!
IT'S GAME DAY!
Be sure to support our middle school Musketeers!
WHY WURTLAND?
AWARD-WINNING STRINGS PROGRAM
Did you know that Wurtland Middle School offers an award-winning strings program that is changing the lives of our students each day? This program is unlike any in our area, and students love it! Eli Williams, a sixth-grade student, shares how much he has improved throughout the year. Eli states, "At the beginning, it was very hard for me. You need time to learn notes and get your posture right. If your posture isn't right, you can't play the instrument as well." Luckily, our students are committed to working hard. He adds, "It definitely has pushed me and is inspiring. Whenever you learn how to play, it sounds awesome! Sometimes, it gives me a relief from stress."
Why Wurtland? It's in the innovations of our teachers and students to be better each day!
SPRING BOOK FAIR
On Monday (3.27.23), our spring book fair will begin! Students can participate in a sucker-pull game to win prizes. They will also have a jellybean guessing activity, and the winner of this will win $15.00 to spend at the book fair. Family shopping night will be on Thursday, March 30. It's certain to be wonderful!
