Sock Drive
Get into the spirit of giving! WMS is holding a sock drive for Lazarus House in Lawrence.
Students may bring in new pairs of socks to donate, which will be collected in homerooms.
The homeroom that collects the most pairs of socks for each grade will win the chance to race an animal at our all-school winter pep rally on December 20th!

The band, orchestra, and chorus team is excited to invite you to our Winter BOC Concert this coming Wednesday, December 11th at 7pm.

AYS - Mental Health Awareness Workshop
During this workshop, The NAN Project Peer Mentors will share their lived experience with mental health challenges, as well the supports they were able to access and the coping strategies they have employed to find a path to recovery. These stories create a safe space for staff, faculty, and community stakeholders to ask questions about mental health, and the strategies that work to engage youth who are struggling.
