Today we will be following the C-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 1 through 7 — so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class. Again, this is a C-Day. See your TA teacher with any questions.
.
And now for a “wellness tip” from our school clinic! It’s cold, flu, and covid season again — 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.
.
Up next, we need to talk about LOCKERS!! If you’re planning to decorate a friend’s locker, you may ONLY do so AFTER SCHOOL. Also, please remember that all decorations must be REMOVED after one week — we’ve got to keep our lockers neat and clean both INSIDE and OUTSIDE. Last thing: please make sure you’re CLOSING your locker every time so it locks. And if it won’t close, see your TA teacher for help.
.
Have you checked the lost and found lately? A TON of lost items have been turned-in throughout the year: water bottles, lunch boxes, hats, sweatshirts, and more! So if you’ve lost anything, be sure to check the lost and found in the cafeteria, the main office, the library, and in each of your teachers’ classrooms. You may just find some long lost treasures!!
.
Calling all film-makers, journalists, and video-jockeys! The 13th annual Arlington Student FilmFest is now accepting entries for its 2025 competition. The application deadline is March 29th, and the Film Festival is scheduled for April 30th at Wakefield High School. To participate, please contact Mr. Schonfeld and he’ll walk you through the application process. Now go make some movie magic!
.
Ready, set, READ!! The 9th annual March Madness Tournament of Books has officially begun!! This year’s contenders are a mix of the most checked-out books from the library AND recommendations from the TAB Club.
.
Here’s how to participate: Just go to the WMS Library Canvas Course and cast your vote for the Sweet-16. We’ll announce the results next week. And remember: the TA in each grade with the best overall bracket will win a prize — so make your vote count! The March Madness Tournament of Books — may the best book win!!
.
And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! We’ve got a big SHOUT OUT to 6th grader Ray G. — who just qualified for the U.S. Kids Golf WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!
.
The World Championship — which is scheduled to take place this summer in North Carolina — is the BIGGEST junior golf event of the year, with more than 15-hundred participants from over 50 different countries.
.
It’s an INCREDIBLE honor just to be invited — and we know that he’s going to do great. Way to go, Ray!!! [clap]
