| Fellow WMS 8th grade parent, Magin Urdanick has been inspired by what Matt Mendelsohn is doing for the Yorktown Seniors (click here to learn more about the YHS project) and she would like to do the same thing for our 8th graders. How wonderful for our 8th grade students! How it would work: Have your 8th grader pick some props that would show what their interests are and/or something that represents them (basketball, softball, art, photography, etc.). She’ll come to your house, in mask and standing 6/8 feet away. She’ll use her long lens to get their portrait. These will be quick 10 or 15 minute sessions. Then she will give you the digital file at no charge. It might be cool to have the kids wear something that says WMS on it for continuity but obviously not required! To book a session click on the Google form here, or the booking site. Click on BOOK ONLINE tab, upper right corner, then, click on BOOK NOW. Any questions? Contact Magin Urdanick. |

PTA Directory – Time to Opt IN
| This year APS has moved to an online verification system for maintaining accurate student information through ParentVUE. During this verification process you will be asked if you wish to appear in the PTA Directory. You must check the “opt in” box to appear in and access the PTA Directory. Once the WMS PTA receives the final list of those families who have chosen to appear in the PTA Directory, you will receive a verification email from our directory vendor of how you wish your family information to appear. WMS families that opt in will have access to the online directory. WMS families that are PTA members will also receive a printed copy of the directory. Questions? Contact our PTA Directory team here. |

Spring into Action and “Back the Pack”
Spring Into Action to Back the Pack!!!
The WMS PTA would like to thank all WMS families who contributed a total of over $28,000 to the No Frills Fundraiser in the fall. However, as we noted in the fall, we are about $10,000 short of our annual fundraising goal.
The PTA still needs to fund several important things this year, including:
- Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week
- Student Services such as WMS Cares and Wolf Paw Drawings (yes those prizes your children win for their Wolf Paws are funded by the PTA!)
- Student Scholarships
- Professional Development
- Teacher and Staff Gifts
We can’t do this without your help! Please donate TODAY!
Watch this student-produced video for more information!
For more detailed information on how the funds will be spent, check out the 2018-2019 budget.
