1/12/2024 - Williamsburg

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.
.
And now for a special message from the 8th grade Family and Consumer Science class. This is Allie, just one of the many sweet puppies and dogs at the Animal Welfare League of Arlington. You can help Allie and her canine friends by donating old T-shirts which will be recycled into dog toys. Just bring your donation to room 128 — and Ms. McFerran will give you a Wolf Paw for your support. Thanks for your help, Wolves!!
.
WHAT ARE THOSE??? As part of our school’s commitment to sustainability, Williamsburg is joining a Sneaker Recycling Program called “Got Sneakers!!” So if you have any old shoes lying around, don’t throw them away!! Instead, please donate them to “Got Sneakers” by dropping them off in room 233. See Mr. Sundwick with any questions.
.
And now for a “wellness tip” from our school clinic! It’s cold, flu, and covid season again — so here are three simple strategies for keeping our shared environment HEALTHY and SAFE! First — WASH YOUR HANDS!! Second — Fully cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. And third — if you’re not feeling well, please STAY HOME. Together, we can stop these germs and viruses BEFORE they spread. See our school nurse with any questions.
.
Attention all students! If you ever have to leave school early, please be sure to bring a note from home to the Main Office. They’ll give you an Early Dismissal Pass — which you can show your teacher to get out of class. However, you may NOT leave the school until your parents arrive to pick you up. Just wait in the Main Office until they get here.
.
It’s SHOWTIME!! The WMS Winter play — Miss Nelson is Missing — premieres TONIGHT at 7pm in the school auditorium, and again on SATURDAY at 2pm. Tickets are just 2-dollars — cash only — and can be purchased at the door. It’s going to be an INCREDIBLE show. And it stars all of your friends and classmates! We hope to see you there!!
.
And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! Congratulations to 7th grader Alice D. — who won SECOND PLACE in the 2024 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Literary and Visual Arts Contest!! Alice and the other APS winners will be recognized by Superintendent Duran and the School Board at a ceremony later this month. Way to go, Alice!! [clap]
.
And finally, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream — and it’s just as important TODAY as when he first spoke it on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963.
.
Stay tuned for a special video about how young people today still find inspiration in Dr. King’s legacy.

Roll Tape!!
