Message from the Principal
Hello WGMS families!
We had another busy week at the soon to be renamed WGMS. Students participated by sharing renaming ideas for our building, 5th grade students reached their 1000th day of school, and we have had a great start to this year's St. Baldrick's event as we have already raised over $2,400! I hope everyone has a relaxing and enjoyable Winter Break! See you soon.
Stay well,
Michael McGrath
Black History Month
St. Baldrick's Brave the Shave
Our St. Baldrick's event at West Genesee Middle School took off in 2014 as a result of our students looking for a way to support and stand with fellow students and members of our community who have been impacted by childhood cancer. We have hit the ground running and have currently raised $2,400 on the way to our goal of $12,000. It is not too late to support our “Brave the Shave” event in any way that you can and help us make a difference in the lives of children across the country. It's all about "The Power of WE!" HERE is the link to volunteer, donate, and/or brave the shave.
We Need Your Help!
If your child is going to be absent, please contact the health office. If you plan to indicate the reason for your child's absence using the ParentVue app, please do this by 8:30 a.m.
