Today we will be following the A-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 1, 3, 5, and 7 — so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class. Again, this is an A-Day. See your TA teacher with any questions.

Smile for the camera! It’s Day-4 of TA pictures for the 2020 Yearbook. Here’s the rundown: 8th grade TAs will be photographed TODAY — 7th grade TAs will be next Monday and Tuesday — and all grade-level Make-ups and retakes will be shot next Thursday and Friday.
.
The photographers will be arranging you into 2-lines for the picture… OR, if you’re feeling more imaginative — you’re encouraged to creatively stage and arrange yourself for the picture. Just be sure to practice your pose in advance — and make sure we can see everyone’s faces! See Mr. Schonfeld with any questions about the TA pictures.

Ready for some science? Here’s a joke. You Matter. Unless you multiply yourself times the speed of light squared. Then you energy. Get it???
.
Got it. But now I’ve got something that really “matters” — The WMS Science Fair is almost here! Students, parents and staff are invited to check-out the AMAZING student displays during the Science Fair open house — this Saturday morning from 8 to 8:45 a.m. in the cafeteria. Then judging begins at 9 o’clock. One of these exhibits could change the world — so come on out, support your friends and classmates, and be an ENERGETIC part of the PRIDE. Science Rocks!!

And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE! The boys basketball team took on Thomas Jefferson Middle School on the home court yesterday and notched a big win — 40 to 34. 8th grader John T. scored 11 points to lead all scoreres for the second consecutive game — but also got big contributions from Buddy S. with 8, Grant C. with 7, and Jack R. who was a perfect 4-for-4 from the foul line. Another great game. Way to go, Baller wolves!! [clap].
