We begin today with WOLF PACK PRIDE! The WMS Model UN Team had a rip-roaring conference this past weekend at HAMUN — the Holton Arms School in Bethesda. Participants debated important contemporary issues, and sought to find collaborative solutions to world problems. Special props to 6th graders Eric C. and Tyler C. — who were both recognized as “Outstanding Delegates!” Way to go, MUNner wolves!! [clap] The next Model UN meeting will be this THURSDAY during ASP 1 in room 202 — where they’ll be preparing for the upcoming McMun and GWMUN conferences.
.
WOLF PACK PRIDE continues for the WMS Tennis Team — who will be competing in the Stockard Championship Singles Tournament at Bluemont this afternoon. Our student-athletes will be taking on the best competition in the county. So let’s support our team, and root them on to victory. Good luck, tennis wolves!! [clap] Participants are reminded to meet at the bus loop at 11:30 today for the ride to the courts.

And now for a Technology Tip from Ms. Solomon: Your student iPads MUST be set with a passcode on the homescreen. A passcode provides basic security, and ensures that your APS Google files, StudentVue app, and personal items remain safe, private and secure. So set up your passcode TODAY!!
