This month, students in Ms. Fox's class dissected owl pellets as part of the 4th grade science curriculum. A pellet, in ornithology, is the mass of undigested parts of a bird's food that some bird species occasionally regurgitate. The contents of a bird's pellet depend on its diet, but can include the exoskeletons of insects, indigestible plant matter, bones, fur, feathers, bills, claws, and teeth.

Ground has been broken on the Wyoming Champions Center, a new indoor athletic facility on the Wyoming High School campus that will provide much needed year-round training space for nearly 350 student athletes each year!

The Hixson Teacher of the Year Award recognizes full-time teachers who are making outstanding contributions to students' lives. Since 1991, Hixson has sponsored the Teacher of the Year Award, which is presented annually to a current teacher of a Hixson associate’s child or grandchild. Mrs. Coomer was nominated by sisters Lauren and Annabelle Montgomery. Mrs. Coomer was recognized for her ability to inspire students of all backgrounds and abilities; earn the respect and admiration of students, parents and co-workers; and for playing an active role in her community, as well as her school's community activities.

Our theme for this school year is #ImpactWyoming.  This is our way to realize that no matter what our role is within the district, we each have the incredible opportunity to make a difference for our students, staff, and families.  When we each realize the potential we have to #ImpactWyoming, the possibilities are endless for our students!
