Full Calendar

In two short weeks, the 2022-23 school year will come to an end. We began the year with our traditional Back-to-School Family Picnic and look forward to graduation on June 2. This year our doors have opened wider, and we’ve appreciated the ability to work with you on behalf of the children through co-op experiences, classroom celebrations, musical programs, field trips and more. Thank you for partnering with us. 


The level of excitement at this time of year is palpable. Those students old enough to share their thoughts about the school year coming to an end can easily identify the feelings they are experiencing as bittersweet. It is with joy, gratitude and a tinge of sadness that our graduates prepare to move on to high school, taking with them all that is WMS. When asked about their time here - and collectively they have been at WMS more than 60 years - they are able to articulate the reasons they love their school as the same ones you share with us when you chose WMS as the best school for your children.


Each year as we celebrate our eighth graders, we recognize not only all they take with them to their next schools, but also the impact they have made on each of us. They have grown up with us, from toddlers to middle-schoolers. Please join us to celebrate their graduation next Friday, June 2. You will be glad you did!
