Several weeks into the school year and students are active at WAMS. This week our 7th graders are going to Pine Grove Furnace State Park for a field trip focusing on archaeology. Next week, 7th graders will particpate in Buttonwood Nature Center's Aquatic Studies program traveling to Mixhaux Forest at Old Forge.
WAMS also has Chess Club, Video Game Club and Student Council. Have your student check in at the office if they're interested in joining any of the clubs.
We have also kicked off our annual WAMS Walkathon Fundraiser. Students received a form that they can collect pledges and have the opportunity to walk at WASH stadium and then go to Memorial Park for Food Truck lunches and some time to play kickball, dodgeball or just hang out with friends. Top three fundraising students receive a prize for their efforts. Thank you in advance for your donations. The Walkathon will be held Friday, September 27th and the raindate is Monday, September 30th.
Don't forget Thursday, September 12 is an early dismissal day. All students are dismissed at 11:50 a.m.
School Picture Day is Tuesday, September 17th. Picture forms were sent home with students today. If you need another form call the WAMS Office at 717-762-1191 X1306 and we will send another form home with your student.
Finally as a reminder ~ Progress Reports will be posted to the portal on Friday, September 20th.
