Happy Friday Tigershark Families,

This week our 6th graders participated in the 6th Grade Mashup: Engage, Explore, Excel "Unleash Potential, Embrace Adventure, Excel Together!" The purpose of this event is to allow incoming 6th grade students from different elementary schools an opportunity to participate in a variety of team building activities. The ultimate goal is to create a learning environment where students get to know each other in a safe, engaging and nurturing community. It is our hope that through these activities students will find common ground, friendships or even discover something about themselves in the process.  Ask your 6th grader this weekend about the experience.  We have heard great feedback from the students.

Year-Round Fundraiser at WLMS:

WLMS will have a year round fundraiser with Spiritwear Direct.  Orders will be delivered directly to your home. You select the design and style of shirt,hat, bag etc and they will create it for you.   They have specials every Friday.
