We begin today with a special presentation about Hispanic Heritage Month.
.
And to bring you the news, please welcome to the WOLF-TV studio our very own principal: Mr. Boykin!!
.
Good morning, Wolf Pack! It’s your principal, Mr. Boykin. I’m so pleased to be here today with a very special announcement.
.
This month, we’ve been celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month – and the many contributions that Hispanic Americans have made to our economy, culture, and society.
.
Our theme is Unidos: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation. Over the past few weeks, TAs throughout the school have been decorating their classroom doors to bring this theme to life! My administrative team and I have been so impressed with the creativity, thoughtfulness, and respect that you’ve all demonstrated on this project. You have my heart-felt appreciation.
.
But today, it’s my honor to recognize a few TA doors that truly resonated with meaning. We’ve picked the top-three winners from each grade.
.
Starting with the 6th grade, congratulations to: in 3rd place, Ms. Winter’s TA! In 2nd place, Ms. Hodkin’s TA! And in 1st place, Ms. McFarren’s TA!!
.
Moving to the 7th grade, congratulations to: in 3rd place, Ms. Young’s TA! In 2nd place, Ms. Willet’s TA! And in 1st place, Ms. Martin’s TA!!
.
And finally, with the 8th grade, congratulations to: in 3rd place, Mr. Dudek’s TA! In 2nd place, Ms. Woodbury’s TA! And in 1st place, Ms. Davidson’s TA!!
.
We’ll be treating ALL of our 1st place winning TAs to a special breakfast, this FRIDAY in the cafeteria at 7:50am. Thanks to everyone for participating, and congratulations again to our winners.
.
And one more thing before I go: This Friday, as we wrap up Hispanic Heritage Month, we’ll be serving up a SPECIAL TREAT to ALL of our students and staff at lunch in the cafeteria. I hope you like it! And thanks for being a part of the WOLF PACK PRIDE!!!
.
Thanks, Mr. Boykin! 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. And don’t forget, all students should go back to your TA for Wolf Time. Again, this is an A-Day. See your TA teacher with any questions.
.
Attention Tennis and Girls Soccer players!! Both teams will be traveling to Thomas Jefferson for an away game TODAY right after school. Players should meet at door number-14 by 2:35 for the ride over. Again, tennis and girls soccer are traveling to TJ after school. See your coach or Ms. Hogwood with any questions.

.
Hey, Wolf Pack? What would you think about Williamsburg hosting a school-wide DANCE PARTY? Ms. Hogwood wants to know your thoughts!! Students are encouraged to complete the QR code outside of her office — which is across from the cafeteria. And if enough students say “Yes” — then we gonna party!! See Ms. Hogwood with any questions.
.
We’ve got spirit, yes we do! We’ve got spirit, how about YOU?!? The WMS SCA is proud to present the first SPIRIT DAY of the new year — now scheduled for this WEDNESDAY! In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, all students and staff are asked to PINK OUT!
