1/15/2026 - Williamsburg

Today we will be following the A-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 1, 3, 5, and 7 — plus Wolf Time — so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class. Again, this is an A-Day. See your TA teacher with any questions.
.
I can fix it!! “The Student Helpdesk of Williamsburg” is hosting its weekly meeting TODAY during ASP 1 in room 136. Students and staff are encouraged to bring in your phones, watches, iPads, laptops, or anything from home, and the Helpdesk can fix it — or at least tell you what the problem is. All “techies” are welcome! See Ms. Hogwood with any questions.
.
Everybody in the pool! The WMS Swim and Dive teams are getting ready for their new seasons. There are no tryouts, but interested athletes need to register by scanning the QR code on the Activities Board and completing the GoogleForm by February 13th. Also, you must have a current physical on file to participate. See Ms. Hogwood with any questions about swim or dive.
.
And now for a special announcement from Family and Consumer Science. The 8th grade FACS class is making dog toys out of old T-shirts for the Animal Welfare League of Arlington. But they need more T-shirts! Students and staff are encouraged to bring their old T-shirts to the FACS room — room 128 — and Ms. McFerran will give you a Wolf Paw for your support. Thanks for your help, Wolves!!
.
Who’s hungry?! The WMS PTA is teaming up with Dogwood Tavern in Falls Church for a restaurant spirit night fundraiser. It’s scheduled for Wednesday, January 28th. Just mention the fundraiser when ordering — dine-in or takeout only — and a portion of your purchase will be donated to our school. Thanks for your support, wolves!!
.
Who’s ready for a fantastic show?! The WMS theater department is proud to present our Winter play: The Snow Queen — based on the classic story by Hans Christian Anderson. Performances are scheduled for TONIGHT and TOMORROW, both at 7pm in the auditorium.
.
Tickets are just 5-dollars per person, and can be purchased in advance on the WMS website using SchoolCash — or you can buy them at the door using regular cash. See Mr. Randle with any questions about “The Snow Queen”, and we hope you enjoy the show!
.
Calling all actors, singers, and dancers! Once the Winter Play is over, it’ll be time to start working on the Spring Musical — “Matilda!!” Auditions are scheduled for January 20th and 21st in the Auditorium after school. Interested performers should prepare 30-seconds of a song, and 30-seconds of a monologue. Please register for the auditions by scanning the QR code on the Theater Call Board and completing the Google Form.
.
The show also needs a backstage crew — for lighting, sound, sets, props, costumes, and art design. Again, just complete the QR code to sign-up — but no audition is necessary for crew. See Mr. Randle with any questions about “Matilda.” And break a leg!!
.
And now it’s time to for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! The WMS Model UN Team competed at the Dorothy Hamm Conference last Saturday — and they did GREAT! In fact, it was one of their most successful showings in YEARS!
.
Ten delegates participated in the event, and they earned FOUR individual awards. 8th graders John A. and Sarah C. each earned a verbal commendation; while fellow 8th graders Maddie M and Emma M were named Best Delegate — the TOP award at the conference.
.
Congratulations to the entire team for “setting the standard” at the Model UN. Way to go, MUNNER wolves!! [clap]
