It’s cold and flu season again – and Covid has been surging lately – so we just want to remind EVERYONE about the importance of washing your hands, covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, and staying home when you’re feeling unwell. It’s up to all of us to keep our shared environment HEALTHY and SAFE! See our school nurse with any questions.
.
And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! The girls Ultimate team traveled to TJ on Wednesday and SPLIT a pair of hard-fought games. The 7th and 8th graders dominated, taking the match by a score of 10 to 5. Props to 8th grader Ada and 7th graders Viviene and Erin for their incredible teamwork.
.
Meanwhile, our 6th grade team lost a heartbreaker to TJ’s much taller and much more experienced 7th grade team — 5 to 3. WMS was down 4 to nothing early, but came storming back with a 3-point run that almost caught them. Incredible defense from Claire, Caroline, and Alina kept us in the game, and the whole team proved that they can play against anybody. Way to go, Ultimate wolves!! [clap]
.
Wolf Pack Pride continues with the WMS Tennis team, who had back to back match days this week. After a rough outing versus Dorothy Hamm on Wednesday, the Wolves rallied and swept Kenmore on Thursday, 5 to zero. They also won all three exhibition matches.
.
Big props to the Doubles players for their dominant performance — with all three pairs winning in straight games. Way to go, tennis wolves!! [clap]
