Polar Plunge
It's that time of year again! Waccamaw Middle School will participate with the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office in the Fifth Annual Polar Plunge for Special Olympics on February 1st. Join us at the Litchfield Inn to take the plunge with Sgt. Lopez, Mrs. Haynes, Mr. Meyer, and some of our brave Warriors. Registration that day starts at 10am, and we plunge at 11:30am. Register at https://www.classy.org/campaign/2025-georgetown-county-polar-plunge/c622625/search?type=team and be sure to select the WACCAMAW MIDDLE SCHOOL TEAM. Our school has been the top fundraiser out of all the GCSD schools the past three years and we want to continue that tradition. Help us by joining our team to plunge, or by simply donating to the WMS TEAM. Thank you in advance for helping our Special Olympic athletes.
