  • The WMS-PTA Book Fair is officially OPEN!! 6th, 7th, and 8th graders will all have a chance to visit with their English classes — but anyone is welcome to stop by either before or after school, or during your lunch period.  Plus on Thursday and Friday, your parents are invited to the “after-hours” Book Fair during Parent-Teacher Conferences.  So don’t forget to bring your money — and get yourself a good book!

  • And speaking of Parent-Teacher Conferences — Tell your parents!  Arena-style conferences are THIS WEEK — Thursday from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.; and Friday from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. No appointment is necessary, just come on in and have a chat.  What could be better — your parents and teachers, alone in a room, talking about YOU!!
