West Rocks Middle School

NEVER FORGET 🇺🇸 The Panther community recognized the 25th Anniversary of 9/11 on Friday with a special tribute. We were fortunate to have our Grade 8 Social Studies classes participate in three interviews with 9/11 survivors, including Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Jules Naudet. Naudet and his brother are known for their 9/11 documentary that was filmed while responding to the WTC with the FDNY . Their personal stories of courage, bravery, and resilience are the reason why we teach about the tragic events of that day. https://youtu.be/CBAjNTQcOws?feature=shared Norwalk Public Schools Voices Center for Resilience

We are proud of the work we are doing. 💚

There were lots of great memories during the 2025-2026 school year. This July, we want to PAWS and reflect. Stay tuned as we share some of our favorite memories and events. From the buzz of the Promotion ceremony and the discoveries on Field Trips and in Marine Science, to the thrill of Sports games and the creativity of VPA Events – we’ve got a fantastic collage of moments to revisit.
We also want to know your highlights! What specific memories do you want us to feature? Drop your favorite moments or events in the comments below! 🐾📣

Division I football players—including Norwalk’s very own Cam Edwards, West Rocks alum Sebastien Pierre, and Norwalk alum Mysonne Pollard, alongside teammate Drew Buckley—recently paid a special visit to West Rocks Middle School to speak with students! 🏫🐻
It’s always amazing to see student-athletes giving back to their local communities, sharing their journeys, and motivating young minds to tackle their goals both on and off the field. A special homecoming for these local alumni makes it even more impactful! Keep making Norwalk proud, guys! 🙌📚💪 .cam1
