December 8th, 2024
Good afternoon WAMS families, this is Principal Aaron Acome.
I hope each of you had a chance to relax, recharge, and enjoy the weekend. It’s hard to believe that we are just two weeks from Winter Break.
As we move through these next few weeks, the excitement of the holidays can make it easy to lose focus. Please help us reiterate the importance of following daily expectations for schoolwork and behavior. Staying engaged in the classroom and treating each other with respect will ensure that we all enjoy a positive and productive end to 2024.
PTO:
The PTO will be selling non-candy grams in the cafeteria on Tuesday, during study hall on Wednesday and in the cafeteria on Thursday for $1.
If you would like to volunteer to help monitor the cafeteria Tuesday or help serve the teachers between 10:30-12:30, please let me know. We need at least three volunteers.
