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.
