Happy Thursday, WRMS Families!!!
It's a great evening to be a Wildcat! I'm actually starting to write this at the volleyball game against Lake Travis! So far so good!!! This morning I had the joy of listening to our orchestra make some recordings for what will eventually be part of their virtual concert. It was amazing music that filtered into my office from the cafeteria. They have come so far! This week in particular, I have been blown away by just how polite our kids are. I will stop there with this part for now. There is LOTS to share this week.
Before we head to information items, here are a few words from our EEF teachers this week:
NOW for the information items:
That is all for this week. My fingers are tired! I'm looking forward to some cooler air this evening and weekend. I hope you all make the most of a couple of days off!.

Feliz Jueves, familias de WRMS !!!
¡Es una gran noche para ser un gato montés! ¡De hecho, estoy empezando a escribir esto en el juego de voleibol contra Lake Travis! ¡¡¡Hasta ahora tan bueno!!! Esta mañana tuve la alegría de escuchar a nuestra orquesta hacer algunas grabaciones para lo que eventualmente será parte de su concierto virtual. Fue una música increíble que se filtró en mi oficina desde la cafetería. ¡Han llegado tan lejos! Esta semana en particular, me ha impresionado lo educados que son nuestros hijos. Me detendré ahí con esta parte por ahora. Hay MUCHO que compartir esta semana.
¿Lo que más te gusta de la enseñanza? Diría que para mí es una profesión maravillosa en la que puedo aprender, crecer y tener el privilegio de conocer y conectarme con los jóvenes más increíbles que realmente son capaces de marcar la diferencia en nuestro mundo. - Sra. Reese
AHORA para los elementos de información:
Eso es todo por esta semana. ¡Mis dedos están cansados! Espero un poco de aire fresco esta noche y fin de semana. ¡Espero que aprovechen al máximo un par de días libres!
