A Message from Mr. Garrett
Dear Mustang Families:
I want to thank all the students and parents that have supported the WMS Fundraiser, "Worlds Finest Chocolate.”
To date we have signed out approximately 300 boxes of candy bars! Students can turn in their money on Monday or Tuesday next week before school in the commons & pick up additional boxes of candy bars if they would like to try to sell an additional box of candy bars.
During Parent Teacher Conferences next week, students or parents are able to turn in money and or pick up additional boxes of candy bars on Wednesday from 2:00 - 4:00 or Thursday from 4:00 - 6:00 in the Gym. This will be the ONLY time during conferences that we will be able to handle the money and/or chocolate.
The fundraiser will conclude on Sunday Oct. 20th and all money is due the morning of Monday October 21st in the commons.
Thank you so much for all you do to support WMS Staff & Students, I'm blessed to be a Mustang!
WMS Fundraising Going Strong!
WMS students are doing a great job with the chocolate fundraiser!
You can find a copy of the form to sign to receive more boxes by clicking HERE.
A few key points to keep in mind:
- Opened/partially sold cases CANNOT be returned. Once a case is checked out to a student, it is the family's responsibility for the return of the full amount for that case.
- Students can receive an additional case once the FULL AMOUNT of the previous case is returned in the SIGNED envelope.
- This is not a door-to-door campaign; each family is asked to contact relatives, co-workers, neighbors you know, and friends of the family to help make the sale a success.
- All money must be returned by October 21.
