It is time to sell pretzel rods! Please make sure you send back the permission form so your child can sell if you wish!
Exciting news! We are starting our school-wide fundraiser this month and will be selling chocolate covered pretzel rods. The money raised will be used to support our school through PBIS, our general office fund, and teacher appreciation. This will help us pay for fun activities, trips, and rewards! The students are excited to begin and permission forms will be coming home soon! When they are sent, we will post a copy here as well! Thanks in advance for your support!
Just a reminder that all bus/pick up/walking notes need to be called into the school BEFORE noon unless it is an emergency. Thanks so much for your cooperation!
Time to buy yearbooks!
WCMS students will be walking over to the Wirt County High School auditorium tomorrow for a presentation from the G Force Strength Team. Please make sure your child has a coat or sweatshirt.
🚨Drop Off and Pick Up Reminder🚨
The front loop is closed to all traffic EXCEPT bus traffic from 7:30 - 7:45 AM. Please drop students off out back or in the gravel lot.
Also, please remember that school does start at 7:50 AM at WCMS.
Of an evening, parent pick up students are dismissed at 3:10 from our back doors. Please follow the line of traffic to wait for your child. It is a quick process! :)
Please call the school if you have questions.
Mrs. Harrison is starting to do some fundraisers for our library! Water bottle stickers will be available for sale soon and we will also be having a book fair from February 13 through the 17th.
Stickers are two stickers for one dollar. They will be on sale through the end of the book fair!
Fifth graders were able to talk to Chris Harris the CEO of Humanity Matters of New Zealand on Friday. Chris spoke of his work with the Holocaust and his travels all over the world as well as some of the famous people he has had the pleasure of meeting. Most importantly, he spoke of being an upstander and choosing to do the right thing. Students were also able to ask him questions and enjoy the funny stories Chris had to share. It was an amazing opportunity.
Today, 5th graders heard of the hope filled dreams of Anne Frank and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Mrs. Good challenged each 5th grader to perform a Random Act of Kindness. If students can prove to her on Tuesday that they performed a RAK, they will earn a special treat.

On behalf of WCMS, I want to thank everybody who helped volunteer today to make our 2022 color run a huge success! A special thank you to parents, the fire department, teachers, and town of Elizabeth employees who braved traffic spots trying to keep our kids safe. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and appreciate the many suggestions on what we can do to make it better. We will take all of those suggestions into consideration. We understand sitting in traffic is always a pain, and appreciate the kindness and patience of those who understood. We truly believe WCMS kids are amazing and their safety is worth waiting for a few extra minutes! Our kids had a blast and pictures will follow in the coming days!
