Today we will be following the B-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 2, 4, 5, and 6 — plus Wolf Time — so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class. Again, this is a B-Day. See your TA teacher with any questions.

In this country, we all have the Freedom of Speech AND the Freedom to Read! This is Banned Books Week — which raises awareness about the many books, essays, and publications that face censorship in this country. In recognition of this event, the WMS Library has created a “Banned Books Collection” on display for all students and staff. So come get yourself a banned book — and be PROUD of your Freedom to Read!!

And now for a “wellness tip” from our school clinic! The cold, flu, and covid season has arrived early this year, so here are three simple strategies for keeping our shared environment HEALTHY and SAFE! First — WASH YOUR HANDS!! Second — Fully cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. And third — if you’re not feeling well, please STAY HOME. Together, we can stop these germs and viruses BEFORE they spread. See our school nurse with any questions.

And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! The WMS Girls Soccer team soundly defeated Gunston yesterday — 8 to 1. The Wolves opened the scoring 55 seconds into the match and never looked back.

Big props to 8th Graders Leah R with 2 goals, Harper S. with 2 goals, Emmy D with a goal and 7th Graders Anna D with 2 goals, and Hannah R with 1 goal. And another OUTSTANDING job by the entire defense. Way to go, soccer wolves!! [clap]
