Today we will be following the A-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 1, 3, 5, and 7 — so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class. Again, this is an A-Day. See your TA teacher with any questions.

Calling all students! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And now there’s NO EXCUSE for not eating it. For the entire month of March, breakfast is being served for FREE in the WMS cafeteria before TA. So head on down and grab some grub. You’ll be glad you did!
.
It’s nearly time once again for Parent-Teacher Conferences! Conferences will be held “Arena style” on THURSDAY from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., and on FRIDAY from 8 to 11:30 a.m. Tell your parents that they can meet with ONE or ALL of your classroom teachers. No appointments are necessary, but meetings are limited to 5 minutes each. Parents and teachers together — what could be better than that?!
.
Attention Anime Club! There will be an Anime meeting TODAY during ASP 1 in room 109. Get ready for more “My Hero Academia!!” Contact Ms. Armistead with any questions.

Calling all students! Next month is National Arab American Heritage Month. To celebrate, the WMS Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is planning a series of programs and activities — but we need your help! If you would like to participate — and maybe even share a personal story about being an Arab-American — please contact Ms. Wielechowski in room 124 either before or after school. Thanks for your help, Wolves!!

What’s that buzz? It’s the WMS Geo Bee! Over the next few weeks, Social Studies classrooms will be quizzing students to find representatives for the school-wide Geo Bee later this year. Do you have what it takes to win this annual event? Let’s find out with this sample question!

Countries come, and countries go. And sometimes, countries change their names! What Southeast Asian country was once called SIAM??? [pause] The answer is — THAILAND!
.
How’d you do? Contact your Social Studies teacher for more information about competing in the upcoming WMS Geo Bee. And may the best student win!!

It’s March Madness! And we’ve got a pair of tournaments underway. First up: Ready, set, READ!! The 8th annual March Madness Tournament of Books has reached the Final-4! This year’s contenders are a mix of old favorites and new titles that are burning up the book charts. Who will be moving on?
