The wild winter weather just keeps on coming! Due to the delayed opening, we will be running on a modified schedule today. Be sure to check with your TA teachers for class and lunch times. And a special note for 6th graders: today is a ‘C’ Day — which means you’ll be following a 7-period schedule just like everyone else. And remember — there is NO Wolf Time today, so please proceed directly to 1st period following the Morning Announcements.

And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE! The WMS girls basketball team earned a THRILLING, come-from-behind victory over Jefferson Middle School on Tuesday — winning 29 to 20 on the road. The Wolves were down by 9-points at the half — but came out SHOOTING in the second — and quickly retook the lead. Then the DEFENSE took over — forcing 15 turnovers and ensuring that our team would stay on top! Big props to 8th graders Brooke S., Mia S., and Grace M. who led the team in scoring; and Ana G. for leading in steals. Congratulations on a great all-around game, baller wolves!! [clap] The girls basketball team will be playing their FINAL game of the season — TODAY after school against Kenmore in the WMS gym. So let’s all pack the stands, root them on to victory, and be a part of the pride!!

Calling all students who participated in the PTA Reflections Contest this year! Your submissions and award certificates are available to be picked up — THIS WEEK in the Library “reflections” bin. Again, if you have not yet taken home your submissions and certificates, please collect them from the library by this FRIDAY. And of course — congratulations to everyone who took part in the contest!

“I’m so glad I didn’t buy a yearbook” — Said no one EVER! The deadline to buy your 2018-2019 WMS Yearbook is this FRIDAY. That means you’ve got just TWO days before they’re all gone. Yearbooks cost 40-dollars — or for 55-dollars you can get the exclusive “Signature Package.” Just go the WMS Website to place your order TODAY — or stop by room 137 and ask Ms. Kontos and the yearbook staff for more information. The WMS Yearbook — Don’t miss out on the memories!

The WMS Kindness Club’s “Have a Heart Campaign” is in its final week. Students and staff are encouraged to donate used towels and blankets that will go to support local animal shelters — and the hundreds of homeless pets they’re trying to get adopted. Donations are being collected in the bin outside of the library until this FRIDAY. So have a heart — help our furry friends in need — and donate TODAY!
