WRMS has a lot of families in the school. Principal Mr. Dial, and his son Jagger Dial, a 7th grader on the All Stars team. Mrs. Lambotte, the band teacher, and Mr. Lambotte, the choir teacher, are husband and wife. Mrs. Casey, a science teacher on the SWAT team, and Joel LaCount, an 8th grader on the SWAT team, are siblings. Mrs. Dowell, the gifted teacher, and her son Owen Dowell, an 8th grader on the HEAT team.
Mrs. Casey and Joel LaCount
Casey and LaCount both enjoy being in school together and like seeing each other in the halls. Even though Casey says it’s hard to not treat LaCount differently, LaCount doesn’t see a difference in her treatment. LaCount says that having his sister in school is convenient for him because after school he can go to her room without having to worry about the bus, and the teachers have more trust in him. Casey says “I feel really special to be his teacher”.
Mr. Dial and Jagger Dial
Mr. Dial has always liked having his kids in the same school as him, and Jagger agrees that being in school with his dad is a good thing. Because Mr. Dial is an 8th grade principal he doesn’t see Jagger too often but when he does Mr. Dial says, “When I do get the opportunity to see him I will typically say ‘Hi’ or give him a look, but I try to let him have space and not try to embarrass him too much”.
Mrs. Dowell and Owen Dowell
Mrs. Dowell and Owen both think completely differently about having each other in the same school. “Having Owen in the same school as me is a lot of fun, but also kind of annoying.” Owen thinks it’s weird. “I don’t like seeing her in the hallway.” “But I like to ride with my mom to school because I don’t have to ride the bus.” Mrs. Dowell loves having Owen in the same school. “My favorite part is that all of Owen’s friends are around and they will tell me all the things Owen doesn’t tell me.”
Mr. and Mrs. Lambotte
Mr. and Mrs. Lambotte both love to work and compete with each other. They got to know each other because Mrs. Lambotte used to teach in the music Ex room before teaching band which is right by the choir room. When it comes to funny experiences Mrs. Lambotte has one to tell. “An adult was displeased with a situation at a choir concert and said not nice things about Mr. Lambotte right in front of me. When Mr. Lambotte introduced me to the crowd and I waved, she felt very awkward and very bad,” said Mrs. Lambotte.
