Pound, pound, POUND!! What’s that? It’s the sound of an 8th grader trying to get into the trailers and BANGING on the door, like, 18 times!! Listen up, Wolves — if you’re locked out of the trailers, a simple knock will do the trick. Please be patient, and someone will open the door in a few moments. Your 8th grade teachers thank you for your patience and understanding — and for NOT POUNDING ON THE DOOR!!

Move over Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump — because WMS has its own election coming up! 8th graders are invited to run for the 2016-2017 SCA.

See Mr. Peacock with any questions.
