- Today we will be following the B-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 2, 4, 5, and 6 — 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.
.
- Attention Act 2 Art students! Class has been CANCELLED for this afternoon. Mr. Skrzypek is not in the building today — so once again, there will be NO Act 2 Art after school. But classes will resume as normal next week.
.
- The 2019 Winter Concert series is coming to Williamsburg — starting TONIGHT with the WMS Band, then the Chorus performs on Tuesday, and the Orchestra goes next Thursday — all at 7 p.m. in the school auditorium. And then next FRIDAY the 13th — all three groups will be performing for the students during their grade-level elective periods.
.
Admission is absolutely FREE! So come support your friends and classmates as they celebrate the winter and holiday seasons with beautiful music — and Be a Part of the PRIDE!! And now, here’s a sneak peak of what’s in store. Roll tape!
- Tis the Season for Giving Back to Your Community! WMS is sponsoring a Holiday Food Drive for the Arlington Food Assistance Center. Students and staff are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items — which will all go to deserving families in our community. Collection boxes are located outside of the library, cafeteria, gym and auditorium — from now until December 17th. See Ms. Scott with any questions. Together, we can make a difference!
.
- Get ready for a BOOK BONANZA! The WMS-PTA Academic Book Fair is OPEN for business — in the school library from NOW until next THURSDAY, December 12th. 6th, 7th, and 8th graders will all have a chance to visit with their English classes — but everyone is welcome to stop by any day of the week — either before school or during your lunch period.
.
Plus, the Book Fair will also be open late-night — TODAY, next TUESDAY, and again next THURSDAY — to coincide with the three Winter Concerts. So don’t forget to bring your money — and go get yourself a good book!
.
- Calling all amateur photographers! The WMS Yearbook is now accepting pictures from Williamsburg students and families. Pictures can include virtually anything from our shared Williamsburg community: Sports – Clubs – Academic Competitions – Field Trips – Friends – Family – Pets – Vacations – and more!!
.
Just follow the link on the WMS website for instructions on how to upload your pictures — or see Mr. Schonfeld for more information. Who knows? Your picture may be featured in the 2020 Yearbook! So submit your personal pictures today — and BE A PART of the PRIDE!!
.
- And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! The WMS boys soccer team lost a heart-breaker to Swanson on Tuesday — 2 to 1. The Wolves started out strong with a beautiful goal from Jake O. and an assist by Caleb L. But then Swanson tied it up on a corner kick — and they took the lead for good with a score in the final few minutes of the match.
.
Despite the loss, the entire team played a great game. Way to go, soccer wolves — you’ll get them next time!! [clap] Boys soccer AND girls basketball are both back in action this afternoon — hosting Thomas Jefferson Middle School. Students and staff are invited to come out, root them on to victory, and be a part of the PRIDE!!
