September 6, 2018 MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL DIANNE CARTER
Hello, Wildcat Families!!!
The excitement and busy times of fall athletics and activities is upon us. I enjoyed a bit of the football scrimmage yesterday, and I'm looking forward to hearing our band tomorrow and seeing volleyball in the near future. Don't forget to take a moment as a family to rest and breathe. I hope you all have a great end to your week and a wonderful weekend.
Destination Imagination It's time for Destination Imagination! Student teams can participate in all grades, K-12. There will be a district-wide parent info meeting about this awesome creative problem solving organization at 6:00 PM on September 12, 2018, at the EISD Board Room. Please see the attached flyer for more information! Destination Imagination Flyer
CAREER DAY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!! When your talents match with doing something you love, your success is a special story to tell. It is not often when a career fully satisfies a person's soul - you literally love what you do; you're good at it; you're passionate about it. If this is you, the WRMS Career Day committee would like to invite you to tell your story to our 8th-grade students at Career Day Thursday morning November 15th from 8:35-10:20 am. By donating less than two hours of your time, you will inspire a child and potentially put them on a path of similar talents, gifts, and interests such as yours. In just 10 minutes, presenting to a small group of students, you can describe what you do, demonstrate the skills the job needs, mentor them on daily responsibilities, and recount how and when you knew this was what you were meant to be doing. If you have any questions or need more information to help with your decision to share your time and talents with the students, please do not hesitate to contact Career Day Chair Patricia Baumhart at pbaumhart@gmail.com.
Nurse/Counseling Department Needs Your Help! During the year, it is helpful to have snacks on hand throughout the day for students in need. Families in the past have been so kind to donate favorite snacks for us to keep in our offices. Popular items include: Individual packages of mac and cheese, fruit snacks, fruit roll ups, packets of oatmeal, goldfish, individual bags of chips/popcorn, graham crackers/animal crackers, beef jerky.
The Elite Visual Ensemble at Westlake High School is currently doing outreach for new cadet members from the Eanes ISD middle schools. They are hosting a clinic for all middle school students on September 8th so please see the following flyer and form if you are interested.
