It will be performed at the Charles Bender Performing Arts Center in downtown Humble. Jace says that he has wanted to play Pugsley ever since he saw the original movie. He says it is a very fun experience and he hopes to see you in the audience. *Snap Snap*

West Lake Middle School Annual Fund
The West Lake Middle School Annual Fund, is a campaign that is a partnership between WLMS, our parents, and the Humble ISD Education Foundation. The fund benefits our students by providing resources that promote innovation in our classrooms and enhanced technology opportunities for students. Several Humble ISD schools have transitioned to this fundraising model that allows parents to make tax-deductible gifts in lieu of third-party fundraising efforts.
As Rudyard Kipling said, “For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack,” we look forward to partnering with our West Lake families in creating a vision for excellence for our students.
