Today we will be following the B-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 2, 4, 5, and 6 — so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class. Again, this is a B-Day. See your TA teacher with any questions.

It’s Halloween! And there’s a HORDE of ghosts, goblins, and inflatable chickens roaming the halls today. Big shout out to all of the students and staff who got into the Halloween spirit.
.
But please remember that everyone must abide by the Halloween guidelines. Costumes may not be offensive, no weapons, no masks, nothing inappropriate. — and everything else you see on your screen. And if you’re not sure — err on the side of caution and DON’T WEAR IT! Or, ask an administrator. Thanks for understanding, and have a Happy Halloween!!
.
Calling all students! In celebration of being named a National Blue Ribbon School, we’ll be having a special celebration on November 13th — and all of YOU have a special role to play! 6th, 7th, and 8th graders will be spelling out the letters “W-M-S” on the blacktop behind the school. But you know what they say: Practice makes perfect!
.
So here’s the practice schedule — and it’s changed a little, so please pay attention!! Today, 7th graders will be going to the blacktop during Wolf Time to learn your marks. And then on Thursday, both the 6th grade AND the 8th grade will go to the blacktop during their Wolf Time.
.
See Ms. Hogwood with any questions. And thanks for your help, Wolves!!
.
Believe it or not, but the 1st Quarter is rapidly coming to a close. Which means: it’s almost time for the Wolf Paw Drawing!!! That’s right — the 1st Quarter Wolf Paw Drawing will be held NEXT THURSDAY, November 9th, during TA. But to be eligible for a prize, you MUST submit your Wolf Paws by this FRIDAY.

The Wolf Paw Prizes will be going on display outside of the library next week. There’s going to be some great stuff in there — so don’t delay! Be sure to turn in your Wolf Paws TODAY!
