Today we will be following the “anchor” C-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 1 through 7 — so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class. And remember, there is NO Wolf Time today. Again, this is an “anchor” C-Day. See your TA teacher with any questions.

The deadline for submissions is November 18th.

And now for a special message from the WMS Equity Committee: representation MATTERS. WMS is planning a series of events and activities to celebrate Native American Heritage Month. But we need your help!!
.
If you identify as Native American, or if you’d like to show support for this important segment of our shared community, please contact Ms. Wielechowski in room 124 or send her a message in Canvas. Thanks for supporting Native American Heritage Month!!

And finally, yesterday was Election Day in America — when citizens carry out their civic duty to choose our local, state, and federal leaders.
.
But last week, the 7th grade held their own “mock” election — so let’s see how THEIR results matched up with the real thing. According to our students, Democratic incumbent, Don Beyer, was re-elected to the House of Representatives. For Arlington County Board, the 7th grade voted for Democrat Matt de Ferrante. And Bethany Sutton was selected as the newest member of the Arlington School Board. The 7th graders also voted “YES” to all bonds, including those for Arlington Parks and Recreation and Arlington Public Schools.
.
And according to the latest results — ALL of those candidates were ALSO selected in the actual election: Don Beyer, Matt de Ferrante, and Bethany Sutton all won their races, and the bonds were approved. Thanks for voting, 7th grade — and way to go, wolves! [clap]
