WMS Weekly Updates April 11, 2025

Good Afternoon WMS Families:

-The monthly PTO Meeting will be held on Monday, April 14th at 6:30PM in the library. We will also post a zoom link on our FB page. Come join us as we have lots to discuss...Color Run, Field Trips, Teacher Appreciation, Board Openings and 8th grade events. Any parents interested in helping plan 8th grade events, please join us! The PTO is in need of a treasurer for its board for the next school year. This is a crucial part of our group, and we are hoping there is a parent in our school community who would be willing to join our group in this role. If you are interested, please contact us at wamsuttapto@gmail.com
