Last week our WHMS band, under the direction of new leader, Mr. Coleman, performed at NYSSMA Majors for the first time in school history. After breaking that barrier, they earned a "Silver" award at level 2. They came so far in such a short time thanks to PERSISTENCE! @smurrayLB

WHMS had a special visitor early this morning! We may be the Rams, but this duck made its way from Halls Pond to our front door for a breakfast nibble. A beautiful bit of nature to start our day. @whufsdrams @smurrayLB #RamResolve

Happy #RamPride Award Day! Johanna and Tatiana (not pictured) Took a Responsible Risk and shared sonnets they wrote with the class as part of a Shakespeare author study in 8th grade English. So proud and grateful that they put themselves out there! @whufsdrams @smurrayLB

Today our students completed an empathy-building Word Cloud activity that we started a few weeks ago. Students took all the positive words peers shared about them & custom designed a Word Cloud that we will print & laminate as a keepsake. Be on the lookout! @whufsdrams @smurrayLB

More pictures from our kidney dissection labs. Thanks to our WHHS science colleagues for taking a lead role in the dissections with our 8th graders. Teamwork! @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

The dissections are underway! Students learning with a sheep kidney about the organs and excretory system after watching a live kidney transplant. This is medical school caliber work! @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB

[West Hempstead MS @WH_MSRAMS]

The program is underway and our hosts from Liberty Science Center are explaining how the next few hours will go. Surgery is set to begin in about 20 minutes. Exciting times in WH! @whufsdrams #RamResolve @smurrayLB
