Thanks to YOU...
1st Annual WMS Back to School Bash- A Success
YES, THANKS TO YOU!
This was the first time we had held a back-to-school celebration at WMS, and WHAT A SUCCESS! Mrs. Eckert and I know none of it would have been possible without the support of our staff, families, and community business and organizations!
We have many people and groups to thank for helping to make this idea come to life.
Thank you...Community Businesses and Organizations!
To the many community businesses and organizations, we thank you for your creativity and generosity. The donations for prizes awarded at the Bash and prizes raffled off at the BASH were a smashing success!

Thank you...Staff and Parent/Guardian Volunteers
We had individuals:
- Reaching out to their friends and family to recruit volunteers for the event
- Going to area businesses to gather donations for our event
- Helping with contacts (people who know people)
- Assisting with preparations: mapping out the event, making a Pie the Face stand, saying kind words to technology when it doesn't want to work, gathering supplies, making signs, etc.
- Creating trivia questions
- Making an emergency trip to the grocery store because who knew you'd need 30 cans of whipped cream
- Getting whip cream in the face over and over at Pie in My Face activity
- Baking LOTS of goodies for the Fill My Belly activity
- Stomping on wasps that crept in
- Taking down tables/chairs and gathering equipment used
- Cleaning up after the event...that was a lot of whip cream splatter factor
- Celebrating the success of the BASH
Last BUT Definitely NOT LEAST...Our WMS Demon Students and Families
It was amazing to have WMS Demon Families attend in full force to celebrate returning to school and together as a WMS Community! Individuals of ALL ages participated in various activities, from littles to not-so-little. It is great to see adults get just as excited as children about glitter tattoos, baked goods, moving an Oreo cookie on your face, creating marbled pencils, singing to their favorite song, getting fun photos taken, showing their knowledge about WMS, and hitting a staff member in the face with whipped cream.
Thank you to...Crazy Asians and Crazy Woman Espresso
Without YOU, we would have had some hangry students and adults!
Crazy Asians Kitchen- Knowing families could get your specialty menu during the event not only made them smile but also helped families by not having to worry about dinner!
Crazy Woman Espresso- Knowing a kick of caffeine was available helped some of our families make it to the event after a long week.
