We would love for parents to join us for this special presentation. Just in time to motivate everyone for the upcoming STAAR. Buffy “Mr. Magic” Coleman was discovered by and attended the 1993 Harlem Globetrotters training Camp. He still makes personal appearances with his former team the World Famous Harlem Wizards. Buffy has spoken to more than 5,000,000 adults and youth across North America while visiting over 3,000 schools. The show is entertainment as well as fun for the entire student body and school faculty, with comedy and amazing basketball skills. Most of all there is an inspirational message for young people.

Woodville Middle School Vision Woodville Middle School will work to create a learning environment that provides opportunities for students to be critical thinkers, problem solvers, and life-long learners. In an effort to support our Campus Improvement Plan, we will be sharing ways that parents can assist their student, as we work together to promote high achievement in Middle School. The first order of business is to instill a series of successful habits. One of the most important habits is to be proactive. As a parent, you can be the agent of change in your family as you help shift responsibilities to match your principles and values as a family. As a student, you will want to take responsibility for yourself. At WMS, we will be working with students to use “I” statements to help them accept responsibility for their actions. Statements such as: I’m a responsible person (home and school) I take initiatives I choose my actions, attitudes, and moods I don’t blame others for my faults I do good things, even when no one is around Please join us as we work to help your student achieve success in school, and in life.
