We begin this morning with WOLF PACK PRIDE! Today, we at WMS are honoring Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Students and staff were encouraged to PINK OUT by wearing the pinkest pink clothing as a show of support for survivors, fighters, and families of those affected by Breast Cancer.
.
Well, just look around — and you’ll see HUNDRED of people who chose to participate. Thank you to EVERYONE for your engagement in this important issue — and thanks for being a PART OF THE PRIDE!
.
This week in health and PE classes, the Student Services Staff will continue presenting a special lesson about the “Signs of Suicide” — or S.O.S. This impactful presentation builds upon the “It’s Time to ACT” PSA that aired earlier this month on WOLF-TV. 8th graders will receive this important information either TODAY or THURSDAY. Please see Mr. Caldwell or Ms. Boyers with any questions.
.
Calling all MUNners! There will be a meeting for everyone attending the upcoming GWMUN conference — TODAY during ASP 1 in room 202. If you are unable to attend this meeting, you MUST contact Ms. Carlson ASAP to guarantee your spot. Also, there will NOT be a regular Model UN Meeting on Thursday.

Read any good books lately? The “Talk about Books” Club” — a.k.a. TAB — will be meeting TODAY during all grade level lunches in the library. So grab your grub and come take a look at these Totally Awesome Books!!
.
Calling all math lovers! Math Counts will meet TODAY during ASP 1 in room WW 1. All 6th, 7th, and 8th graders are invited to do math problems, play math games, and perform many other math activities. It’s all math — all the time at Math Counts!! See Mr. Mencarini for more information.

Attention 6th graders — It’s time to GET DOWN and BOOOOOOOO-gie! Just in time for Halloween, the 6th grade Spook-tacular Skeleton Stomp is coming at you — courtesy of the WMS PTA. It’s scheduled for TODAY during ASP 1 and 2 in the cafeteria — so you can still take the late bus home. There will be food, a DJ and dancing, games, raffles, prizes and more. And please — despite the Halloween theme — NO COSTUMES. However, since today is also “Pink Out Day” — the 6th grader with the pinkest pink outfit will win a prize! See ya at the party!
.
And speaking of Halloween — TOMORROW is the big day — All Hallow’s Eve! — 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 as an extra incentive to dress up, the WMS Fitness Team will be holding a HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST during all grade-level PE classes on Wednesday. So wear your scariest, most creative, unique, and SCHOOL APPROPRIATE costume — and you might win a TRICK or TREAT! “Ghoul” Luck, wolves!!
.
Due to the 6th grade Spooktacular, the Ukulele Club will not be meeting after school today. Again, the Ukelele Club is CANCELLED for today.
.
Want to make new friends, play some smooth music, and have a swingin’ time?! Then join the WMS Jazz Band Club! Meetings — also known as “Jam Sessions” — begin November 1st, and will continue every THURSDAY during ASP 1 in room 225. All instruments are welcome — including guitar and bass players. Just sign-up on the activity board by the cafeteria, or go to the Jazz Club page on the WMS website for more information and to contact the band leader, Mr. Wilkin.
