The Sting

The Beta Club "Socktober" Drive was a HUGE success!
We cannot thank you enough for your kindness and generosity!

Looking ahead...we will be creating Christmas cards for nursing home patients. 5 cards will earn you 1 service hour!

Dear Families,

We are currently experiencing a driver shortage for Bus 160 without a consistent substitute available. To ensure our students continue to have transportation, several of our teachers, instructional assistants, and custodians who hold CDLs have generously volunteered to drive this route before and after their regular workdays.

Because driver schedules will vary, please expect that Bus 160 may run up to 15 minutes earlier or later than usual, depending on daily conditions and student ridership.

Our staff is working hard to keep everything running smoothly on top of their full-time responsibilities. We truly appreciate your understanding, patience, and kindness during this time.

PLEASE SHARE! East Wilkes Middle School is looking for an amazing person to come drive the school bus for us! If you are interested, please call the school at 336-651-4300 or apply online at https://wilkescountyschools.schoolspring.com?jobid=5913352

The Boosters would like to thank everyone for their support of the EWMS Athletics. We have had an amazing first season of sports so far. Anything from concessions to special events we host to monetary donations it all helps. We were able to purchase 4 new girls basketballs, 4 new boys basketballs, 4 track hurdles, 4 headgear for wrestling, 1 dozen baseballs, 1 dozen softballs, 4 soccer balls, pitchers net and a drag for the softball and baseball field and now 3 uniforms for our Basketball Cheerleaders. Without the support from the East Wilkes family none of this would have been possible. Please come out and help us make the winter sports as successful.

The girls basketball store is now open. The store closes the 9th so get your gear now.
The 7/8 girls are required to have the shooting shirt per coach
