- It’s Day FOUR of Random Acts of Kindness week, and today we’re talking about the importance of friendship. According to a recent study, children who perform Random Acts of Kindness feel more accepted by their classmates and have more friends than kids who don’t. It’s just common sense: When you are kind to others, more people want to be around you. So do something nice for someone TODAY — and you just might make a new friend!
- And now for some WOLF PACK PRIDE!! The WMS Girls Basketball Team had a big WIN over Kenmore on Tuesday — 34 to 16. The game was close early, but the Wolves played tough and pulled away in the end. And a special shout-out goes to the WMS band — for playing the National Anthem before the game. Way to go, wolves!! [clap]
.
WOLF PACK PRIDE continues TODAY with a pair of games against Gunston. The Boys Wrestling team has a match-up on the road, while the girls Basketball team will host the rival Hornets in the WMS gym. Plus, the WMS chorus will be performing the National Anthem — you don’t want to miss it! So let’s pack the stands and cheer our teams to victory. Be a Part of the Pride!
