Could your parents survive a day in Middle School? We’ll soon find out! This WEDNESDAY is BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT at WMS, from 5:50 to 8pm. Parents will essentially be “walking in your shoes” — as they follow your daily schedule, meet your teachers, and tour the school. So go home and tell your folks: come to Back to School Night this Wednesday — and be a Part of the Wolf Pack Pride!

This is National Suicide Prevention Week. And today, we’d like to tell you how EVERYONE can play a role in suicide prevention.
.
First and foremost: we need to talk about it. It’s important to spread awareness about the challenges that so many in our community are facing. And if we see someone that might need help, check up on them. And let them know that you care.
.
And if you feel yourself struggling, please know that your feelings are valid — and it’s okay to share them. Talk to someone you trust — a friend, a teacher, a counselor, a family member, or another trusted adult. You can also call the suicide prevention hotline at 988.
.
And remember, this THURSDAY, we’re asking everyone in our community to wear the colors YELLOW or GOLD to show their support for National Suicide Prevention Day.
.
This simple but powerful gesture will help raise awareness and demonstrate our school’s commitment to mental health and well-being. Thanks for your support, Wolves!!
.
And finally — today is Constitution Day! It’s celebrated each year on September 17th, which is the anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787.
.
In honor of Constitution Day, we’re happy to bring you this THROWBACK video — courtesy of School House Rock!!

Roll Tape!!
