.
Calling all ghosts, ghouls, and goblins! Monday is HALLOWEEN — and students are encouraged to dress up in your best costume for the occasion. However, there are some important guidelines that you need to follow.
.
Basically, costumes must conform to the WMS dress code, not offend anyone, no weapons, no masks, nothing inappropriate. — and everything else you see on your screen. And if you’re not sure — just ask a teacher or administrator. Thanks for understanding, and have a Happy Halloween!!
.
And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! The girls Ultimate team won BOTH of their games against TJ on Wednesday. The 6th graders dominated — 14 to 4 — with a stifling defense led by Eden, Vivien, and Juliana.
.
And the 7th and 8th graders won their match 6 to 3 — with solid defense and a fast break offense spear-headed by Ada, Sophia, and Claire. Way to go, Ultimate wolves!! [clap]
.
And finally — do you ever feel stressed out? Do the pressures of school, friends, and home life ever seem overwhelming? Well, you’re not alone.
.
Millions of young people all over the country are experiencing ANXIETY — and it’s important that we talk about it! Student-reporters Alice H., Kat T., and Roman H. are here to report on mental heath. Roll Tape!!
