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.
.
Attention TSA and Wolfbots!! There was a mistake in yesterday’s announcements. There ARE TSA and Wolfbots meetings thing week — as usual. Once again, TSA and Wolfbots are ON. See Mr. Dudek with any questions. And sorry for the confusion!
.
I hope you’ve been on your best behavior lately, because Parent-Teacher Conferences are THIS WEEK — THURSDAY from 4:30 to 7:30pm; and FRIDAY from 8 to 11:30 a.m. Conferences will be conducted “Arena Style” — so no appointment is necessary. But they are limited to 5-minutes each. Parents and teachers together — what could be better than that?!
.
And speaking of Parent-Teacher Conferences — Wolfbots Robotics will be hosting a fundraiser on Thursday and Friday while the conferences are going on. They’ll be selling Technology Building Kits for ages 5 to 14. Kits are just 20-dollars, and all money raised will go to support our Robotics program and competitions. Be sure to tell your parents to pick one up — they’re a great gift for the upcoming holiday season!!

She shoots, she scores! Tryouts for the WMS Girls Soccer team are scheduled to begin next Monday, October 23rd, on the turf fields. Athletes are reminded to sign-up using the QR code by the Activities Board or outside of room 116. See Coach Treble with any questions.
.
And now for an important announcement from the 2024 Yearbook! If you have any good pictures of yourself and your friends from when you were little — like elementary school or younger — please email them to Ms. Briones at elizabeth.briones@apsva.us or bring them to room 136 so she can scan them. Your pics could be featured in the Now & Then section of the Yearbook!! Thanks for your help, wolves!!

And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! In recognition of National Bullying Prevention Month, today is UNITY DAY here at WMS.
.
Big shout out to all of our student and staff who dressed in ORANGE to show their support. Thanks for standing up against bullying — and for putting the W-in-Everything!! [clap]
.
And don’t forget — TOMORROW we’re asking everyone to wear PINK in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Pink shirts, pink pants, pink hats — the pinker the better. Show your WOLF PACK PRIDE and ROCK YOUR PINK — TOMORROW for Breast Cancer Awareness!!
.
Wolf Pack Pride continues with the Boys Ultimate Team — who played a pair of games against Kenmore last week. In the first game, our 6th grade team was UNSTOPPABLE. They blanked Kenmore by a score of 24 to 0! Props to Oren P., Sam S., and Ben Y. for their big offensive showing!
.
And in the second game, our 7th and 8th graders had their hands full — struggling on defense early and missing several scoring chances. But the team rallied BIG TIME — and managed a hard fought tie, 6 to 6. Props to Sergio S., Cullen J., and Henry P. for their wonderful play. Way to go, Ultimate Wolves!! [clap]
