Calling all athletes!! If you want to participate in Boys Basketball or Girls Soccer this year, you MUST have a physical on file by next Thursday, October 12th.

Brush your hair, wash your face, and smile for the camera! SCHOOL PICTURE DAY is scheduled for next THURSDAY and FRIDAY during PE class.

Picture packages can be ordered ONLINE by going to the WMS website. See Ms. Johnson with any questions. And say cheese!!
.
And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! The girls Ultimate team finished their season by splitting a double-header against Gunston on Wednesday. In the first game, our 6th graders were taking on a combo of 6th and 7th graders from Gunston, and lost a hard fought match: 5 to 2.
.
But our team of 7th and 8th graders could not be stopped, taking the match by a score of 8 to 1. With the win, this team went UNDEFEATED on the season — and was one of the most dominant teams WMS has ever had in ANY sport! They outscored their opponents 48 to 14 on the year, and were virtually untouchable.
.
Congratulations to our 8th graders on their final season, and to captains Ada, Alex, and Sophia for their incredible leadership. WMS has one of the oldest Ultimate programs in the country, and this year’s team is among the best ever. HAM: They really put the ‘W’-in-Everything. Way to go, Ultimate wolves!! [clap]
