WMS Weekly Update October 18, 2024
October 17th, 2024
Good Afternoon WMS Families:
Afterschool activities will begin on Tuesday, October 22nd. Activities will run from 2:30PM – 3:30PM. It is the student’s responsibility to sign up for an activity in homeroom the day of the activity. A 4:00 PM late bus will be offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays for bus eligible students.
Students need to sign up for the late bus in homeroom each time they plan on taking the late bus. If a bus student does not sign up in homeroom, they will not be eligible to ride the late bus home that day as space may be limited. A list is generated in the morning and sent to the bus company. No additions can be made to the list after the list has been sent to the bus company. Students and Parents may look in Aspen to see the location of the late bus stop. Late bus stops are NOT a student’s regular bus stop. Please make sure your student knows their late bus stop. Students may only get off the bus at their assigned late bus stop. The List of WMS clubs is attached.
-From 7th Grade: The 7th grade is into our study of Ancient India and have been learning about the caste system. Students watched the documentary entitled, "Untouchables" in class and heard Dr. Pariyar's story. Today we had the opportunity to hear Dr. Bishnu Maya Pariyar in person at Wamsutta and learn about the caste system and her experience living as a Dalit in Nepal. She has created the Bishnu Maya Pariyar Foundation with the mission of creating an equitable society. The Foundation works with its partner organization in Nepal, the Association for Dalit Women’s Advancement of Nepal (ADWAN) to empower the Dalit and marginalized community. To learn more, please visit https://www.bishnumayapariyar.com/
Thank you to the PTO
for allowing this amazing opportunity for our students today.
