Warrior Weekly

The mission of Waccamaw Middle School is to ensure that each Warrior is provided a strong, standards based academic foundation, diverse extra-curricular experiences, and opportunities to develop ownership and pride in order to create well-rounded lifelong learners in a safe and supported community.

Congratulations to Avery Fleming for winning the Color the Concepts contest for her illustration of budgeting. She was selected as 1 of 16 artists out of over 350 entries and will be recognized at the 35th Annual Economics and Financial Literacy Awards Luncheon in Columbia, SC. Way to go Avery! You give us Warrior Pride!

Our Warrior talent will continue to shine on Saturday when several of our chorus students will perform at the SCMEA Solo and Ensemble Festival in West Ashley from 12:00 - 3:00 pm. Students who volunteered to be a part of this festival had the chance to showcase their talents this past Friday at a Pre-Concert in the WMS auditorium. West Ashley is in for some amazing performances!

WMS's Drama production of Annie is amazing! The talent of these young people is second to none! Thank you to our wonderful advisors Mrs. Ownbey and Mrs. Klaich for giving them this opportunity to shine! Tonight at 7:00pm is the final performance at the WHS auditorium and you don't want to miss it! Tickets are $5 at the door.
