This year W-WMS is proud to introduce its newest staff members. They are Terri Hammond, Amethyst Wynn, Sandra Standard, Cory Evans, and Laurie Dehil. Our Paw Print staff has interviewed them and they were willing to answer our questions.

The W-WMS faculty, staff, and students would like to thank everyone in the community who helped to make our cookie dough fundraiser a success. We appreciate all those who helped our students sell the cookie dough and all those who purchased it from our students. When we all work together as one, we can achieve anything. We would also like to thank everyone who has supported us by eating at Pizza Hut on Tuesday night. For those of you who do not know, each Tuesday night from 5:30-8 p.m., 20 percent of your total purchase will be donated to W-WMS when customers present the middle school fund-raiser voucher. If you need a voucher feel free to stop by the middle school officeand pick one up or ask any of our students. This offer is valid on all dine-in, carry-out, and delivery orders placed on Tuesday nights during the month of October. Thank you Pizza Hut for your awesome support!
