A BIG WT Shout Out to WTMS 8th grader Annabelle Sexton for representing the participating middle schools of Junior Achievement of Chicago (including NW Indiana) at the Junior Achievement of Chicago Board meeting last week. Annabelle answered questions online from the board about her recent participation in the East Porter JA Town which is a budgeting simulation experience where students will be an adult financially for a day. Junior Achievement (JA) is a global non-profit that provides experiential education to K-12 students, teaching them essential skills in financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship through hands-on programs, often delivered by corporate volunteers. Its mission is to empower young people with the knowledge and confidence to succeed in the global economy, connecting classroom learning to real-world opportunities.
Highlights of this episode: ⭐ Mrs. Mateer discusses the incredible growth of this student leadership group. ⭐ For the second year in a row, our students are preparing to share their experiences with the entire conference! ⭐ Get an inside look at the plans for this year’s big leadership summit.

Two guests speakers who will be reviewing tools that parents can add to their toolboxes to help their children with IEPs.
These professionals will offer strategies and tools that parents can use to support their children's behavioral needs effectively. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain new perspectives and enhance your understanding of behavioral supports.
This meeting is not just about learning; it's also a chance to connect with other parents. We encourage you to invite a friend who is also a parent of a student with an IEP. Together, we can create a supportive network, share experiences, and learn from one another.
