New Year, New You?
Happy New Year from the WMS Counseling Department! As the new year begins, encourage your student to commit to a fresh start. Did homework become an issue before the holidays? Create a reward system to promote independent homework skills. Whatever the goal is, encourage your students to give 110% this year!
Student Council Activities
5 v 5 Soccer Tournament
Get ready for our 5 v 5 soccer tournament on WMS! The tournament will be held on Friday January 30th during all related arts periods. The price for spectators will be $1 at the door on January 30th. All proceeds will be donated to the "Superbowl of Caring".
Pasta for Pennies
Check your pockets! We will be collecting loose change for our Pasta for Pennies drive all month long in February. Students can donate their pennies/lose change to the cause by bringing the money into their homerooms daily. The winning classroom will receive a pasta lunch from Olive Garden! All proceeds will benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!
Valentines Day Candygram!
Students may purchase a candy gram for a friend during the Week of February 9th. The cost of the candy gram will be fifty cents. Candy grams will be delivered to homerooms on Friday February 13th!
Teens for Jeans Drive
Cleaning out your closet? On Wednesday February 11th, the WMS Student Council and Beta Club will be teaming up to collect gently used or new jeans! All jeans will be donated to teens battling homelessness. If students bring in a pair of jeans on Wednesday February 11th, students will be allowed to wear JEANS that same day (February 11th).
