- Wolf Pack Pride is going strong! The WMS girls soccer team DESTROYED crosstown rival Swanson Middle School yesterday, with a final score of 5 to zero. With the shutout win, the Lady Wolves remain UNDEFEATED on the season– and they still haven’t surrendered a single goal. What an AMAZING run for goalkeeper Allie H.!! The soccer team now sets its sights on Gunston Middle School, for an away game TOMORROW at 3:15. Keep it up, wolves!! [clap]

- Calling all 6th graders — it’s time to get your GLOW on!! The 6th Grade “Glow Party” is scheduled for next TUESDAY, December 6th from 2:30 to 4 P.M. in the Cafeteria. There will be a DJ, dancing, junk food galore, a photo booth, & lots of prizes! And in keeping with the “glow” theme, be sure to wear white, neon, or anything with glow in the dark designs. Families are encouraged to donate food and party supplies, and tell your parents that they can still sign-up to chaperone by contacting the WMS PTA — which would be awesome because then you’d get to dance with your mom! The 6th Grade Glow Party — raise the roof!!
