The forecast for this week sure has us thinking spring! And with that change of seasons comes a plethora of events at the middle school! It may be hard to believe, but it won't be long and our track athletes will be running outside! Track practice begins in just three weeks, so have your sons and daughters listen for announcements about when to sign-up. Our eighth grade students will be presenting their science fair projects on the afternoon of Friday, March 20th. Mrs. Templin, Mrs. Hefner, and their students have done a fabulous job experimenting and preparing presentations for you to enjoy. This event is open to the public, and we encourage you to stop in and learn all about our students' projects. The following Tuesday, March 23rd, we have the opportunity to host our first Fine Arts Night. Students will be performing solo and ensemble music acts, presenting art and technology projects, and maybe even showing us some humor through comedy acts. We are looking forward to the night and hope you can come and see your son or daughter, or their friends, perform! As always, thank you for your support in making Webb Middle School a wonderful place to learn and work!
Your partners in education,
Casey Campbell, Principal
Matt Delkamp, Associate Principal

Intarsia is an elaborate form of inlaid work made from small pieces of variously colored wood. For much of 1st semester, the 8th grade technology education students have been energetically creating their amazing intarsia projects after choosing from more than 75 different patterns.
The projects could range in number of pieces from 20 to over 100. The students have a paper pattern of their project which gives the students suggestions for wood color/species and grain direction. After selecting a board, the students use a planer to get the board to the correct thickness. Once the piece is traced onto the board, the students use scroll saws to cut out the intarsia piece. During the process, students also use a variety of sanders, a band saw, a panel saw and a radial arm saw. After all the pieces have been cut out and the project glued to a plywood backing, the students make a frame to fit the project where they use such machines as table routers, a miter saw, orbital sanders, and a brad nailer.
The last step in the process involves applying a spray finish to protect the wood and really make all the different wood colors come alive. If you would like to see some of these phenomenal projects in person, they will be on display at Webb Middle School. All of the lumber for these projects was generously donated by
Reedsburg Hardwoods,
which makes this project possible.

School Breakfast Week: Out of this World
|
March 2-6, 2020 is National School Breakfast Week! School Breakfast is an ideal solution for busy mornings when kids are running late or parents have early work schedules. Oftentimes, kids are not hungry when they first wake up but are ready to eat when school begins. Studies have shown that children who eat a nutritious breakfast have better behavior, better attendance, and improved test scores. The best part about school breakfast within the School District of Reedsburg is that it is offered Universal Free to all K-12 students!

The ESL/Bilingual Education Department is planning the third annual Culture Fest for Friday, May 1, 2020. This year’s theme will be Celebrate Spring. This year’s Culture Fest will be held at a new location, Prairie Ridge Intermediate School, in the cafeteria and gymnasium. We are very excited about the opportunity to showcase Reedsburg’s diverse cultures. The goal of Reedsburg’s Culture Fest is to promote understanding and tolerance of our diverse community and educate residents about different cultures that are present in our community. In addition, we hope to make our families and students of various backgrounds feel welcome in our community.
If you or your family is interested in participating in Culture Fest, there are many options. One option is to make food for the potluck that represents your ancestry or culture. You may also consider sharing music or dances, plays, poetry recitals, informational displays, or any type of performance from your culture or ancestry.

February was a busy month for Academic and Career Planning (ACP) work at Webb! ACP is the label given to the ongoing process of learning about one’s self and understanding how school work relates to future career options. Our goal for ACP at Webb is to increase students’ exposure to career choices and to encourage them to begin reflecting on their own strengths and abilities.
Our 8th graders had a wonderful opportunity to talk with professionals from the area during our second annual Career Expo. Over 50 professionals spent parts of the day at school conversing in student-led conversations. Thank you so much to all those who joined us!
This upcoming month, we are gearing up for Forward State Testing. During testing, please help set your child up for success by encouraging a full night's sleep, a healthy breakfast, and a positive attitude.
