Today we will be following the B-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 2, 4, 5, and 6 — plus Wolf Time — 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.

Whichever grade donates the most food will get a POPSICLE PARTY! So you can help people AND get a sweet treat. Show your donation domination, Williamsburg!
