Dear WMS Parents and Guardians: At this time, all yearbooks have been sold and we no longer have additional copies available for purchase.

Every student now has a new bracelet that reflects the importance of acceptance,inclusion, and kindness! Finally, the Easter Bunny stopped by during 6th grade lunch to hand out some candy and help us hop into Easter Break!
