Happy Friday Tiger Sharks,

Congratulations to Mrs. Walker and all her students on a wonderful performance last evening. All the groups were outstanding and showed such growth from the fall. We had a little Star Wars, Mandalorian, and Moana.

An additional thank you to all the staff and families who came out to support. If you missed it we have more student talent on stage this weekend and more performances in the coming weeks. 

Join us tonight May 5th  for the opening of Really Rosie!  The Tiger Shark Theatre Company opens the spring musical at WLMS! Come out to REALLY ROSIE and bring the kids! Performances are Friday, May 5th at 7pm and Saturday, May 6th at 1pm and 7pm. Scan the QR code on the poster to buy a ticket in advance. Tickets are $3 for elementary students at the door.  All other tickets can be purchased at http://wildelakems.booktix.com/. The show revolves around the classic Maurice Sendak characters, the Nutshell Kids. It's fun for the whole family! Book and Lyrics by Maurice Sendak, Music by Carole King. 

Friday May 12, 2023,  there will be after school dances for the 6th and 7th graders. Please note these are NOT formal events. Students may dress up if they choose but the events are NOT formal. The events are FREE and for WLMS Students ONLY!  6th grade students are required to return a permission slip to attend and must select if they are permitted to walk home or will be picked up. Light snacks and water will be available.  We are in need of some chaperones to make these events run smoothly http://https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C094FA9AA2FA6F49-chaperones

For both events WLMS Administration will determine if any student is ineligible due to discipline concerns and will notify those students and families in advance.  Parents are welcome to attend the Transportation Sign up Assistance in the media center from 3-7pm on May 12th.
