August 29, 2019 MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL DIANNE CARTER
Happy Thursday, WRMS Families!!!
I feel like we just saw each other! Oh...wait...we did! Thank you!!! The first theme this week is just that...thank you. Thank you to our parents that made the Wildcat Warm-up a great experience for everyone. It wouldn't happen without y'all. Thank you to all of you who came to our Back to School Nights. Your positive energy was overwhelming. Last but not least, thank you for trusting us to borrow your incredible kids each day and play our role in helping them grow into intelligent, kind and compassionate leaders of tomorrow.
I will stop there and shift to two information items:
I believe that is all for this week. I am confident that I have forgotten something, but my brain is done for the day. I hope everyone has a terrific three day weekend that includes some rest, relaxation and quality family time.
Enjoy!

WILDCAT CLUB Hello from the Wildcat Booster Club! We hope that the start of school has been great for all. We wanted to remind you of our initiative this month for everyone to participate in the "With Love to WRMS" for the school's front display case. Please take a moment to write your favorite person (teacher/staff/student) or a class you love at West Ridge and we can showcase these expressions of gratitude for all to see! You can find blank postcards and pens near the display case area and then drop your "message of gratitude" into the mailbox for us. The Booster Club wishes you a wonderful and successful school year ahead.
Your Co-Presidents,

*** NO HASSLE FUNDRAISER *** Hello WRMS Parents!
I hope you all had a fantastic summer and are getting into the swing of the school year with your Wildcat. My twins, Audrey and Davis, are rising 7th graders this year and we have come to love the WRMS community of students, educators and parents.
For those new or unfamiliar with our mission, the Wildcat Booster Club is a non-profit 501(C)(3) organization that raises funds to support programs that the public school system is unable to finance. The Wildcat Booster Club is a vital part of our school campus and raises funds to help pay for things that are not in the regular budget. In 2018-2019, we supported teacher professional development as well as numerous teacher appreciation events throughout the year. We also funded some special campus improvements, including the rockscaping in front of the school and refurbishing of the concession stand. In addition, we support student events such as Celebration West Ridge, Medieval Fest and the end of year cookout.
Our primary fundraiser for the Wildcat Club is the Fall 2019 No Hassle Fundraiser. And we truly mean "NO HASSLE!" No selling wrapping paper/cookie dough…JUST donate online or write a check. 100% of the money raised by the Wildcat Booster Club stays here at WRMS and directly benefits our children NOW and for years to come. We work with the principal, the staff and parents to use every dollar of your donation effectively and responsibly to keep West Ridge excellent.
In order for us to succeed, the Wildcat Booster Club needs everyone's help. Our No-Hassle Fundraiser goal is 100% of families participating and $50,000. Please help us reach 100% participation by making your donation today. Any amount is welcome and appreciated. You may visit and login to the Wildcat Club site to make your donation.
The deadline for our campaign is Monday, September 30, 2019. This will allow us to have a better handle on the resources we can allocate to our children and their teachers this school year. Thank you for your support of this effort that adds so much to our children's overall experience at West Ridge Middle School!
Best regards, Rachel Jackson WRMS Wildcat No Hassle Fundraising Chair
