Did you miss Picture Day last month, or did your picture not turn out so well? Then you’re in luck — because “Picture Make-Up Day” is this Wednesday in the Auxiliary Gym during all PE classes. If it’s your first school picture, just go on down. But if it’s a retake, then you must bring your unwanted picture packet with you to exchange. And remember — if you don’t take a picture, then you WON’T be included in the WMS yearbook. See Mr. Koutsouftikis with any questions. And say cheese!
.
Give a “helping hand” to those in need! The WMS Helping Hands Club is hosting a holiday gift drive benefiting Virginia Hospital Center Pediatrics. Students and staff may leave UNWRAPPED and UNOPENED gifts in the collection bin in the main lobby until tomorrow. THANK YOU for your support and generosity!
.
Who wants cupcakes?! Ms. McFerran’s and Ms. Brown’s 6th grade TAs will be selling cupcakes this THURSDAY and FRIDAY during all grade-level lunches. Cupcakes are just 1-dollar each, and all money raised will go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. They’ll also be raising awareness about Parkinson’s by completing the “Will Run for Cupcakes” 5K race. Thanks for your support, wolves, and enjoy your cupcakes!!
.
Calling all athletes! The WMS wrestling and boys basketball seasons are starting soon. Interested players must turn-in your physicals by December 16th. Wrestling practices begin on January 3rd. There are NO TRYOUTS for wrestling, and EVERYONE is welcome to join! But there are tryouts for boys basketball, which are also scheduled to begin on January 3rd.

.
And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! It’s SPIRIT WEEK here at WMS! Thanks to everyone who got into the spirit for “Character Day!” You’ve got spirit, yes you do!!
