Calling all native-Spanish speakers! If you speak Spanish at home, then you could EASILY earn a special “Seal of Bi-literacy” on your high school diploma.

And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! The WMS wrestling team traveled to Swanson yesterday and lost a tough one — 63 to 22. But the Wolves still won four matches, and had great performances from 6th graders Sergio S and Whitaker C. Way to go, wrestling Wolves!! [clap].
.
Up next wrestling, after going 4 and 1 on the season, the team heads to the County Championship next Thursday— looking for one last win. Good luck, wolves!!
.
Wolf Pack Pride continues with the Boys Basketball team. It was a tough week for the Wolves, with a 45 to 47 overtime loss to Dorothy Hamm on Tuesday, and a 34 to 44 loss to Swanson yesterday.
.
But the team played HARD! Matt L had 24 points in both games; James D. had 23 points and a HUGE slam dunk; Sam R had 14 points; Nate R had 10 takeaways; and Danny S was always there to get the rebounds. Way to go, baller wolves!! [clap]
.
And finally, it’s Random Acts of Kindness Day, a chance for everyone to focus on being “kinder” to one another. Because sometimes — even the smallest acts of kindness can have a HUGE impact on the world around us.
.
Stay tuned for a short video about the power of being kind. Roll Tape!!
