A Note From Mrs. Wiley
Wildcat families,
I would like to congratulate the 12 students selected to the All-District band. They performed this weekend at Corinth Holders High School. 4 students were named first chairs, and Ms. Evers was chosen by her peers as the concert clinician.
Our boys soccer and volleyball teams begin play this week. We wish them the best of luck this season.
Friday is National Wear Red Day in recognition of American Heart Association month.
Please join me in welcoming Ms. Jessica Elkins to West Pine. Ms. Elkins joins our 8th grade team as the new math/science teacher. I want to thank Ms. Gaboury for serving our students in this capacity and appreciate her willingness to transition to 7th grade math until we fill that position.
Monday begins the 2nd semester. Now is a great time to set goals with your child in order to finish this school year strong. Other ways to ensure your child is successful is to get a good night's rest (ie: put those phones away!), arrive to school on time, turn in work on the assigned due date, and come to school each day with a positive attitude.
As always, it's a great day to be a Wildcat.
Take care,
JW
