Hat Day!
WGMS is having a “Hat Day” on Friday, November 18th to help raise money for families needing assistance over the holidays. Students/staff/families can donate a suggested donation of $2 until November 18th. Students can bring donations to the main office all next week. In appreciation of their support, all students and staff will celebrate with a “Hat Day” next Friday. All students will be able to wear any school appropriate hat the entire school day. 100% of money raised will go directly to WGMS families in need of a helping hand over the holidays. Donations to families will be in the form of gift cards. Please help us spread the word and thank you for your support.
