• Hey, Wolf Pack!  Do you have old sneakers at home that you’ve outgrown? Instead of throwing them away — you should DONATE THEM!  As part of Williamsburg’s commitment to sustainability, we are now collecting athletic shoes in room 233.  Shoes in decent condition will be donated to those in need, while everything else will be recycled. Once again, bring your old shoes to room 233.  See Mr. Sundwick with any questions.

• The WMS Best Buddies Club needs your help!  Best Buddies is collecting “care items” for people in need until this FRIDAY, March 24th.  Collection bins are located outside of the cafeteria, library, auditorium, and room 108.  Check-out the posters hanging around the school for a complete list of items that you can donate.   Thanks, buddy!
