Warrior Weekly

Congratulations to the newest members of the National Junior Honors Society! Their induction ceremony was held last Friday afternoon. These students were on all A's or A/B Honor Roll for the first three quarters and demonstrate good character and discipline. Way to represent WMS!

Our WMS Chorus did an outstanding job at the Solo and Emsemble Festival at West Ashley High School in Charleston this past Saturday. The Concert Choir received a Superior Rating! We also had 6 soloists and one Small Ensemble to perform. Their ratings were as follows:

Gabe Simmons, soloist: Superior

Cruz Caviedes, soloist: Superior

Women’s Choir Small Ensemble: Excellent

Ryleigh Thompson, soloist: Excellent

Jocelyn Porter, soloist: Excellent

Lillian Gallup, soloist: Excellent

Henry Altman, soloist: Excellent

Gabe Simmons and Cruz Caviedes were also selected to participate in the masterclass with the adjudicator that day and did a fabulous job! We are so proud of all our talented Warriors!

Congratulations to Cruz Caviedes and Grace Ratcliffe who were accepted into the South Carolina Governors School for the Arts and Humanities Summer Programs. Cruz will participate in both their Chorus and School Drama summer programs, while Grace will participate in their Visual Arts program. What a great opportunity for both of these hard working, talented students.

The faculty and staff at WMS were pampered and spoiled this week by our amazing PTO and community sponsors. Thank you so much for all of the delicious lunches and treats from Habaneros, Gilbert's Ice Cream, Get Carried Away and our gift cards. A special thanks goes out to OJ Jansky and Santee Cooper for providing Jimmy Johns on Thursday and starting our week off right with rechargable mini massagers! We have the best support system and you are appreciated more than you know.

Congratulations to Xavier Greggs, Braxton Haynes, Hazelle Viuch, and Amari Mosely for their stellar performances at the Region Track and Field competition. Xavier qualified for Lower States in the Long Jump, Triple Jump, and 4x400, as well as Amari Mosely in the 200 and 4x100. We know that both Xavier and Amari will represent us well in Camden on May 18th. We wish you the best of luck!
