Message from the Principal
Hello WGMS families!
I will have to update my picture as I now have a lot less hair after today's shaving event! Mrs. Howard was kind enough to take a couple of swipes from my head! We are excited about our orchestra, band, and chorus concerts next week. Please be sure to check for information from teachers on the day and time as they are broken down by teams. Have a relaxing weekend!
Best wishes,
Michael McGrath
