WAMS Weekly Update - 11/11/24

November 10, 2024

Good afternoon WAMS families, this is Principal Aaron Acome.

This weekend, we take time to reflect on the importance of Veterans Day, a day to honor and express our gratitude to the men and women who have served our country with courage and dedication. To all veterans in our Western Alamance community, I thank you for your service and sacrifice. 

As a reminder, Monday, November 11th, is a holiday, and there will be no school for students or staff. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday.

From the PTO:

Show your support for Western Alamance Middle School by ordering spirit wear.  In order to get items in time for the holidays, the link will close on Thursday, November 14th @3pm.  Items will be delivered to the school before winter break.

The PTO will be selling Gobble Grams during study hall on November 13th and handing them out on November 20.  They are $1. Students may buy up to five cards and write affirmations on the cards. Please send in the correct change. If you would like to volunteer to help sell Gobble Grams on November 13th, please email westernalamancepto@gmail.com
