Warrior Weekly

Congratulations to Gabby Morris, Duncan Rutherford, and Avery Fleming for winning 3rd place in the state's Junior Book Award Book Trailer contest. They created a book trailer for What Lives in the Woods by Lindsay Currie, which coincidently was voted on by students all across the state of SC as the 2023-2024 Junior Book Award winner! Way to go Warriors!

Congratulations to 7th grader Alex Bauer for winning the school Geography Bee! Alex made it through five tough rounds of competition to claim the title of WMS Geography Bee Champ. Way to go Alex!

Thank you to our amazing PTO and parent volunteers for providing lunch to the faculty and staff on Wednesday. We so appreciate everything you do to support us and spoil us!

Our sincerest thanks goes out to all those who supported our fundraising efforts for a student member of our Warrior family who is battling leukemia. In just one short morning we were able to raise over $3600! A special thanks goes out to our PTO for organizing this event, to Krispy Kreme of Garden City for donating 18 dozen doughnuts, and the UPS store in Pawleys for providing the signs and making a personal donation to our cause. Everyone's donations, love, and support will go a long way to helping him and his family cope during this difficult time. We are so blessed to be a part of this wonderful community! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

It's hard to believe that it's time to start making preparations for the 8th grade Promotion Ceremony that will take place in May. As part of this event, we need a baby picture of your child. Please submit your child’s picture on the link provided below, or you can email it to Mrs. Grate at jgrate@gcsd.k12.sc.us. You may also send in a copy of the picture with your child’s name on it. Please remember WMS is not responsible for any lost or damaged pictures. Please have these pictures in by April 1st 2024.

The South Carolina Education and Economic Development Act (EEDA) requires middle schools to implement an Individual Graduation Plan (IGP) for all 8th grade students. These plans are determined during a scheduled meeting with your child's guidance counselor, Mrs. Williams. At this meeting we will be creating academic/career goals for your child and selecting their 9th grade high school courses. It is strongly encouraged that a parent/guardian attends the meeting with their child so they can be involved in the high school planning process. To schedule the IGP meeting with your child, please visit

https://calendly.com/kimwilliamswms/individualized-graduation-plan-meetings to book your in-person appointment with Mrs. K. Williams at Waccamaw Middle School. All IGP’s must be completed by Friday, April 26, 2024.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at kiwilliams@gcsd.k12.sc.us or at 843-237-0106. I look forward to meeting with you and your child to help plan for their future.
