2/15/17 - Williamsburg

Today is the third day of Random Acts of Kindness Week, and our focus is APPRECIATION. When someone is kind to you — or helps you in some way — it’s important to be gracious and give them thanks. That is showing appreciation. Do you have a friend that you can always depend on? Has one of your teachers taken the extra time to help you learn something new? Try to find the time today to say “thank you” to the people who mean the most to you. Remember: a simple “thank you” can go a long way!

The WMS cheerleaders will have practice TODAY after school in the main gym until 3:30. See Ms. Sutphin with any questions.

On your marks, get set, GO!! The WMS Track and Field season is almost upon us. So if you like to run, jump, skip, or throw — then sign-up using the QR code posted outside of the cafeteria, and be sure to come to the interest meeting TOMORROW during ASP 1 in the gym. See Mr. Treble with any questions.

There will be a Model UN meeting on THURSDAY during ASP 1 in room 202. This will be an important “prep” meeting for EVERYONE going to the “William and Mary” and “Sidwell Friends” conferences. See Mrs. Carlson with any questions.

It’s Back !!! The WMS Model UN Club will be selling pizza on FRIDAY, immediately after school in the Main Lobby and by the Cafeteria. 2-dollars will get you a slice and a cookie! All proceeds go to fund upcoming Conferences and activities. Pizza pizza!!

The 2016-2017 WMS yearbook is on sale NOW!! Just get an order form from your TA teacher — or better yet, get yours ONLINE by clicking the “Order Year Book” link on the WMS homepage. Supplies are limited, so get yours before they’re gone. The WMS Yearbook — Don’t miss out on the memories!

Give the gift of a story! WMS is now collecting books to support the Arlington Book Shelf, classroom libraries, and other local charities. Donation boxes are located in the front lobby by the library, and books can be dropped off until FRIDAY, February 24th. See Ms. Han with any questions.

And finally today — a special poetry reading in celebration of Black History Month. “Won’t You Celebrate with Me” — by Lucille Clifton — read by 8th grader Jalisa S.
