TWELVE DAYS OF READING AT WMS
We had a false fire alarm today. We evacuated the building per our emergency procedures. We temporarily relocated students to WES due to the rain. The building has been cleared, and students are returning to the building for normal afternoon departures.
Happy Holidays from our Wild West Café crew!
ANNUAL DOOR DECORATING COMPETITION
The competition is on! Today, it's the preliminary round of our third annual Christmas door decorating tournament. Students, faculty, staff, parents, and community members will all be invited to vote. The top sixteen doors will make it to the bracket, and the competition will really begin to gain some heat at that point. Voting will remain open throughout the school day. The winning fourth period and/or FLEX group with the most votes will win a pizza party! Happy voting!
