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. And remember to go back to TA for Wolf Time. Again, this is an A-Day and Wolf Time is in your TA. See your TA teacher with any questions.

Who do you think would win a basketball game between our WMS students and our WMS staff?? Well, we’re about to find out! TODAY after school, 8th graders from the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams are taking on their teachers in a winner-takes-all match. Plus, they’ll be selling snacks outside of the gym, and late buses will be provided at 4:15. So come on out, pack the stands, and root the kids — or the boomers — on to victory!!
.
And now for an important announcement from our Activities Coordinator! Please be aware that TODAY is the LAST late bus of the year. So make sure if you’re staying after school next week, you’ve got your own transportation home. Once again, TODAY is the last day for the late bus. See Ms. Hogwood with any questions.
.
It’s nearly the end of the year, and the school librarians want their books back! All WMS library books are now OVERDUE. So look in your backpack, your locker, and under your bed at home — and BRING IN YOUR BOOKS! See Ms. Tan in the library with any questions.
