- We begin the day with WOLF PACK PRIDE! The WMS boys Soccer Team kicked-off the new season with a convincing win yesterday — beating Gunston Middle School 5 to 1 on the home field. And it was a true team effort — 8th graders Griffen L., John E., and Watt M. all pitched-in with a goal — but the biggest blow was struck by 6th grader Lucas S., who scored two big goals to put it out of reach. Way to go, soccer wolves!! [clap]. Soccer is back in action next Tuesday with a game against Kenmore Middle School. Go get ’em!
.
- Wolf Pack Pride continues with some big news from WolfBots Robotics. Mr. Dudek is proud to announce the members of the 6th grade LEGO team, the combined 7th and 8th grade LEGO team, as well as the VEX teams for this year! Congratulations one and all, and thanks to everyone who tried out. Way to go, robot wolves!! [clap]

- And finally today — we have an important announcement from the WMS administration team. Being a good neighbor and respecting others is BIG part of what we need to do to be good citizens — whether you’re here in school, or out in the community.
.
Recently, several business at the Lee-Harrison Shopping Center have reported some disturbing incidents involving young people, including: littering, rough housing, running into other patrons, and using inappropriate language. To be blunt — that type of behavior is not just disappointing, it’s unacceptable.
.
Mr. Boykin, Ms. Osler, Mr. Hicks, and Mr. ‘K’ are all on the same page about this — if you go to Lee-Harrison after school, you are still expected behave responsibly. Remember — Respect Yourself, Respect Others, and Respect our Shared Environment!
