On Thursday October 30,2014 Wood Middle School held it’s first Golden Spur of the 2014-2015 school year. The Golden Spur is a program to acknowledge the educational achievements and outstanding contributions of students through a process of reinforcement, recognition and rewards. Four students are chosen each nine weeks by their team and elective teachers. These students have displayed excellence during the nine weeks and exemplify what a Golden Spur Wrangler represents. To get a Golden Spur you have to show service, academic excellence/improvement, character, leadership, and citizenship.

The first dance of the school year (October 24 ,2014) was a masquerade with masks of all sorts. There were cat masks, a full face mask, feather masks, and so many more.

The dance was sponsored by the NJHS.  Click here for some memory pics.

Greenback Night was a success! Two members of the Wrangler Wrap were able to go around the school and take pictures of everything. Including parents in the classrooms for once! That’s right Wranglers, the parents had to go to class instead of the students. The parents got to meet the teachers and get a glimpse of the curriculum and homework for the year.

On August 18 editors of the Wrangler Wrap interviewed the new assistant principal, Mr.Gonzalez. Before coming to Wood, Mr.Gonzalezs says he was “the best Spanish teacher at Johnson High School,” he has never been an assistant principal before so he is both excited and nervous for the new school year.
