STAFF SPECIALISTS and STUDENT ACTIVITIES
MEDIACENTER
The WyomingMediaCenter is located in the middle of the school allowing for easy access by all students and staff. A computerized catalog and circulation system gives users easy access to all of our materials. Online encyclopedias and other print and online reference materials are available for research in the Media Center.
Destiny Media Catalog on the Wyoming Elementary home page will bring you to all the resources that are available.
The media curriculum is designed to help students become lifelong learners and library users. In addition to checking out recreational and informational reading materials, students in grades 1-6 come to the Media Center once a week for lessons in reference and research, library organization, and literature enrichment. Kindergarten children also come once a week for a story and book check out.
During the year the Media Center celebrates several special occasions and encourages the students to become involved in National Library Week, and other programs designed to promote a love of reading. See our website for a more extensive description of our program.
MUSIC
Children in grades K – 5 participate in music classes with a music specialist. Children are involved in making music, singing, dancing and playing various classroom instruments, while learning about music from various diverse cultures.
6th GRADE MUSIC, BAND OR ORCHESTRA
Students in grade six will participate in classroom music, band or orchestra. Band and orchestra students learn the fundamentals of playing a wind, string, or percussion instrument in small group instruction, as well as in a large ensemble. There are opportunities to perform in concerts and with guest artists throughout the year. General music students study music theory, history and application of music concepts playing woodwind, string and percussion instruments.
STUDENT COUNCIL
The Wyoming Student Council is a group of 4th through 6th graders who serve as a voice of the students and represent them at monthly meetings. Students interested in serving will be responsible for: coordinating student activities, developing student morale, promoting school spirit and pride (WOW!), exhibiting good citizenship, developing leadership skills, building better communication skills, solving problems, and making decisions, creating publicity and spirit for school events.
Some past activities have included the Valentine Heart sales, School Spirit Week, Talent Show, Pennies for Patients, collecting items and raising money for rescued pets, and collecting goods for local food shelves. Members of the student council are elected from 4th through 6th grade classrooms each fall an serve for the school year.
