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.

Voting has begun for the 6th annual WMS March Madness Tournament of Books — Graphic Novel Edition!! Just go to the WMS Library Canvas Course to cast your vote for the Sweet-16. The winners for the next round will be announced next week. And if your TA hasn’t completed a class bracket yet, try to get it done by this Wednesday to be eligible for a prize. The March Madness Tournament of Books — may the best book win!

Read any good books lately? The “Talk about Books” Club” — a.k.a. TAB — will be meeting TODAY during all grade level lunches in the library. So grab your grub and come take a look at these Totally Awesome Books!!

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.

Listen up, Williamsburgers!! Do you have blazing speed? Can you leap over buildings in a single bound? Then you’ve got to check out the 3-time Defending County Champion WMS Track-and-Field team! There will be an interest meeting for Track-and-Field this TUESDAY right after school in the gym. Attendees will get all the information they’ll need about the team and upcoming tryouts. See Mr. Treble with any questions. I’ll race you there!!
.
And now for a “technology tip” from Ms. Solomon! The 8th grade SOLs are just around the corner — and 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.
.
And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! Wolfbots Robotics competed at the Virginia State Championship in Richmond over the weekend — and our teams did GREAT, finishing in 3rd and 7th place out of 18 teams.
.
Big props to the Signam team of Max M, Gab B, Josh H, and Jeffery C — who will now advance to the WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP in Dallas, Texas in May. Way to go, robotics wolves, and congratulations to Mr. Dudek and all the WOLFBOTS for a great season. [clap]
