Labor Day - No School 

Do you enjoy helping others?  Do you like to show others your school pride and talk to them about all the great things we do here at GWMS?   Then Student Ambassadors may be for you. All students interested in being a Student Ambassador please sign up in the guidance office.  We will be having an informational meeting at 7:30 on September 15 in the Auditorium.  See you there!

August 31, 9/7, and 9/8 are Autism Awareness Assemblies.  The 6th graders will go on 8/31, 7th on 9/7 and 8th on 9/8.  In honor of these assemblies, these three days are Autism Awareness Spirit Days.  Feel free to wear blue or your Autism Awareness t-shirts on your day or those days.  Thank you for your support of the Autism Community and all communities represented at Washington.

Do you have an old digital camera that is just collecting dust in a drawer at home? 
Please consider donating it to the Washington Middle School Photography ELT! 
We have many students who are anxious to start taking photos, but not enough cameras to accommodate everyone. 
If you or your parents/grandparents/friends/etc. have a digital camera that you are willing to part with, please drop it off in the Washington main office--Attention: Mrs. Lange.  Thank you!

WTV: WTV has a lot to offer students such as yourself!  We have lots of positions to fill this year from crew to script writing to anchoring!  So if you are interested in helping out with these daily announcements, please join us for an informational meeting on Wednesday of next week, September 7th from 2:30-3pm in the auditorium!  Questions?  See Mrs Mozena or Mrs. Schumacher!
