Wood River Middle School Student to Attend Princeton University's Gifted Program
 Wood River Middle School student Brock Mary was recently recognized by Princeton University's gifted program. Brock will attend Princeton's Summer Institute for the Gifted. The mission of the Summer Institute for the Gifted is to provide the highest quality educational and social opportunities for academically gifted and talented students through programs designed to meet their abilities and needs.
Brock Mary is a well-rounded student with a wide variety of interests and abilities. When asked about Wood River Middle School, Brock said, "I like that the Dual Immersion program continues at the middle school and that I have the opportunity to take French as well. I like the fact that there are more people at the middle school and that I can meet new people." As an 8th grade student, Brock looks forward to attending Wood River High School, "I'm excited to go to high school and take challenging classes and be with even more students and teachers."
Brock plays baseball, football and basketball and recently attended the Know Your Government conference in Boise through Idaho 4-H where he learned about the legislative process. For the past two years Brock raised sheep for 4-H and volunteered for community service. Congratulations Brock for your many accomplishments.

Author Entertains WRMS Students
WRMS students and staff howled with laughter and applauded with enthusiasm as Clay MacLeod Chapman read from his soon-to-be released middle grade novel, The Homeroom Headhunters. Brought to the Wood River Valley by the Company of Fools and the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, Clay is an accomplished author of many genres: plays, movies, graphic novels and, most recently, children’s literature. Through his storytelling abilities, Clay brought his story of a renegade group of former students living in Greenfield Middle School unbeknownst to any and all who work and attend school there. Spencer, the main character, has a frightening encounter with members of this tribe after hours in the library and the action careens out of  control from there. Students and staff are now eagerly awaiting the May 7th release of The Homeroom Headhunters by Clay MacLeod Chapman so they can read the rest of the story.

Each month, teams recognize a student as Student of the Month. Students who embody the characteristics of the IB Learner Profile are nominated for their achievements. The trait for April was Knowledgeable. Being knowledgeable means that they are curious about many different subjects and well-rounded. In other words, they like to learn about many different things. Congratulations to April winners: Clara Harding, Tatum Brockman, Cassandra Diaz, Jens Blackman, Oskar Wilander, and Avery Bothwell (not pictured).
