Today we will be following the B-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 2, 4, 5, and 6 — so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class. Again, this is a B-Day. See your TA teacher with any questions.

Hey, 6th and 7th graders! If you signed-up for the YEARBOOK class on your CRF for next year, you must turn-in your application by the end-of-the-day TODAY in order to be considered.

And if you FORGOT your application, please see Mr. Schonfeld TODAY for additional guidance.

Give a Helping Hand to our four-legged friends. The WMS Helping Hands Club is holding a supply drive for the Animal Welfare League of Arlington from now until March 14th. Donations can include pet food, toys, leashes, or so much more. For the complete “wish list” just go to awla.org. Collection bins are located in the main lobby. See Ms. Hogwood with any questions.

Calling all 8th graders! Your Writing SOLs are scheduled for next MONDAY and TUESDAY morning. In preparation, make sure to charge your iPad over the weekend, get a good night’s sleep on Sunday, and eat a healthy breakfast on Monday. You want to be alert and at your best before you take the test!
.
During the SOLs next week, the entire school will be running on a “flipped schedule” — last period first, first period last. So take extra care that you’ve got the corrects books and binders for class. Again, we will be following a “flipped schedule” next Monday and Tuesday.
.
And now for a “technology tip” from Ms. Solomon! With the SOLs about to begin — your iPad NEEDS to be working. If you are having any problems with your school-issued iPad — whether it’s password problems, not connecting to the internet, glitching apps, cracked screens, battery life, or ANYTHING else — please submit the online “Student Tech. Help Request” form through the WMS website. Ms. Solomon’s got the solution! So submit today — and get yourself back online.
.
The 6th annual WMS March Madness Tournament of Books — Graphic Novel Edition — is underway! To cast your vote for the Sweet-16, just go to the WMS Library Canvas Course. The winners of this round will be announced next week. The March Madness Tournament of Books — may the best book win!
.
And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! The WMS Wrestling Team competed in the Championship County Meet yesterday — and they did AWESOME! Wrestlers Quinn J., Conor M., Leo S., and Bobby S., were all named COUNTY CHAMPIONS in their weight class — and they each went undefeated the whole season!
.
But that’s not all — Peter M. came in second; and Owen H., Clara A., and Davon H. all won third. Combined, the entire team came in 2nd place in the County Tournament. Way to go, wrestling wolves, and congratulations on a great season!! [clap]
