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.
.
Attention all singers and theatre-lovers! The WMS Act II Chorus and Drama classes started up this week — but there’s still time to sign-up if you’d like to join! These classes meet twice a week after school, and grades DO count on your report card. Interested students are asked to complete the Google Form on the Act II tab of the WMS website — even if you signed-up at the Activities Fair. See Ms. Hogwood OR the Act II teachers with any questions.
.
Attention TENNIS TEAM!! All tennis players are asked to please complete ANOTHER Google Form on the WMS website. Sorry for the inconvenience, but there was a “glitch” on the original version you filled out last week. So, once again, all WMS tennis players MUST fill-out another Google Form — and it MUST completed before next week’s match against Gunston! Contact Ms. Hogwood with any questions.
.
It’s nearly time for Boys Ultimate Frisbee season! The first practice is scheduled for next Tuesday, October 12th. All are welcome to join — whether you’re an experienced player or just starting out. Interested athletes should sign-up beforehand using the QR code outside of the cafeteria, or just come on down to the gym next Tuesday. See Mr. Smolinski with any questions.
.
2 – 4 – 6 – 8 — who do we appreciate??? CHEERLEADERS!!! Tryouts for the WMS Cheer squad are scheduled for next TUESDAY after school in the cafeteria. Interested girls AND boys should sign-up on the call-board outside of the lunchroom. Be sure to wear athletic shoes —and be ready to strut your SPIRITED stuff. See Ms. Hogwood with any questions.
.
Brush your hair, wash your face, and smile for the camera — because “School Picture Day” is coming! Portraits will be taken during PE classes on Monday, October 18th for ‘A’ Day and 5th period students; and Tuesday, October 19th for ‘B’ Day students. Remember, to place your purchase orders in advance! Be sure to get a Picture Day Order Form from your TA teacher — and say CHEESE!!
.
Put your creative genius to the test! The annual PTA Reflections Contest is now accepting submissions from all grade-level students. This year’s theme is: “I will change the world by…” Projects can include Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, or Visual Arts. Submission forms can be found in the WMS Library, and projects must be received by October 26th. Unleash your inner artist and submit to the PTA Reflections Contest today!!
.
And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! The WMS Boys soccer team played to a fought hard draw against Swanson yesterday — 0 to 0. The Wolves dominated possession time — but the ref blew his whistle right as WMS had their best attacking opportunity.
.
Big props to 7th graders Charli L. at goalie for stopping EVERY shot that came his way, Conor M. t midfield for dribbling circles around the other team, and 8th grader Rohan K. With for his lockdown defense. Way to go, soccer wolves!! [clap]
.
Pop quiz — How much candy is sold for Halloween?
.
It’s gotta be MILLIONS.
.
More like BILLIONS!! According to the National Retail Federation, over 3-BILLION dollars worth of candy are sold every Halloween. There’s M&Ms, Smarties, Reese’s peanut butter cups, Nerds, and so much more!
.
Stop it — you’re making me hungry!!
.
So, I’ve got another question for you — what kind of candy do you think is the most POPULAR on Halloween?
.
I don’t know — but we’re gonna find out! The WMS Library is hosting a “Halloween Sweet 16.” Each week, students can vote on their favorite candy and sweet treat. And we’ll reveal the Champion right after Halloween.
.
To cast your vote, just go to your Library Canvas Course and follow the instructions. And may the best candy win!!
