5th Grade Welcome to WGMS Dance
Last Friday was our annual welcome to WGMS event for our 5th graders! This was a huge success! DJ Cam had us all moving and shaking and I am still sore from the volleyball and basketball games.
A BIG thank you to our PTA and all our parent and staff volunteers.
WGMS Open House/Title 1 Information Night was a Great Success!
This past Wednesday we had our first in person open house since 2019! It was very well attended. Mrs. Howard’s cookies were a huge hit. As you know now, I was not joking about parking being at a premium.
We are incredibly grateful to partner with our families in your child’s education. Please look for me to share a link to some of our special area classes that you may not have had a chance to attend.
