The Thief of Always by Clive Barker
Our second winner ($15.00 Gift Card to Books-a-Million) in our "I Love Books" contest is Mr. Joshuah Janzen (6th Grade). Joshuah says The Thief of Always "gives me a feeling of suspense while I am reading it and it gives the reader many questions that you solve throughout the book. (plus it is a really large book so it will keep you busy for a while.)". He also recommends this book to "people who like suspenseful or scary books and someone who likes dark fiction." See the book synopsis below.
Master storyteller and bestselling novelist Clive Barker creates an enchanting tale for both children and adults to cherish and retell. The Thief of Always tells the haunting story of Harvey, a bright 10-year-old who is suffering from the winter doldrums, and of a creature who takes him to a place where every day is filled with fun, and Christmas comes every night. Illustrated.

The PTSA Needs You!
Hello Fellow Warhawks,
The summer is over, and the school year has begun. We believe this will be a great academic year for our students and teachers. As a Parent, Teacher, Student Association (PTSA), we planned some exciting programs and activities for our school last year. We were able to accomplish a few of them, but due to COVID concerns, others were abandoned. I want to invite you to join the PTSA this year. With your support, ideas, and energy, we could do our part to make this a great year for our teachers and students. Parent Teacher Student Association membership is only $5 for the year. Click on this link and complete your registration and payment. Membership Link
As you are thinking of becoming a member for this academic school year, consider helping us raise money to make this school year great. If you are a business owner or have connections with an entrepreneur who would love to contribute to our efforts, please share our advertising perks and sponsorship levels. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization, and all funds donated to us are tax deductible. These extra funds will help us to support WKMS with activities like Guest Assembly Speaker(s), Parent Seminars, Family Events, Student Fun Days, etc.
Be a part of making this year great for WKMS!
Many thanks for considering my request.
Dwayne White, Sr.
