And remember to go to your TA for Wolf Time. Again, this is an A-Day, and Wolf Time is in your TA. See your TA teacher with any questions.

It’s time to start thinking about NEXT year’s classes! Course Request Forms are DUE on Friday, February 23rd. So talk it over with your family, get it signed, and get it turned in.

We’ve got spirit, yes we do, we’ve got spirit, how about YOU?! Next week is SPIRIT WEEK here at WMS — leading up to the Valentine’s Day and Mardi Gras Masquerade dances.
