Opening a school for the beginning of a school year brings
with it a great deal of work, preparation and careful planning for everyone
from the secretaries and custodians to the bus drivers, teachers and everyone
in between. It all comes together and makes it all worth it when students start
walking into the building on the first day. And even though it was a short first
week, it once again confirmed what I already knew: we have great students, we
have an amazing faculty and staff, and we have involved and supportive parents. 
As we get back into the rhythm and flow of the school year I
encourage all of you to become as involved with our school community as you
possibly can. Whether you are a student, parent, or WGMS employee, we have a
wide variety of things for you to get involved with and stay connected. Over
the next few weeks, here are some of those things that I hope to see you at:
• Tuesday, September 11: WGMS PTA Meeting at
6:30 PM in the Cafeteria
• Thursday, September 13: WGMS Open House from 7 PM until 9 PM
• Thursday, September 20: 6th Grade Dance from 3 PM until 4:30 PM
Thanks for a great first week and I hope to see you soon. It’s a great day to be a Wildcat!
