- Williamsburg athletes have been “throwing down” with our cross-town rivals this week — playing a pair of games against Gunstun Middle School. On Wednesday, the boys Ultimate Frisbee team played Gunstun to a hard-fought draw, 7 to 7. It came down to the very end — when Gunstun’s tallest player backhanded the disk in the endzone for the tying score. Ooooooo — so close!
.
But the Lady Wolves had a bit more luck. The girls Soccer team posted their second consecutive shutout yesterday — locking down a dominant 2 to zero win over the Gunston girls. Jessica P. and Shay M. each scored a goal for the good guys. The next home game is scheduled for next TUESDAY versus Kenmore. So come on out and show your “WOLF PACK PRIDE!” Way to go, sporty wolves!! [clap]

- This is a “friendly reminder” that students will NO LONGER be allowed to leave class when parents drop off forgotten items at school. Instead, please follow this new procedure: Instruments and iPads can be picked up from the main office BETWEEN classes; homework will be left in your teacher’s mailbox; and lunches will be placed on the front table in the cafeteria. Long story short — don’t forget your stuff, wolves!!
