The Heartbeat of the Wildcat

All students in Grades 6-12 will attend a presentation during the school from Steered Straight to learn more about the harmful effects of drugs and vaping. You can learn more about the program by visiting their website.

Additionally, each high school student will receive a copy of Victoria's Voice. Click here for more information about this book. Due to the nature of this book (surrounding drug use, sensitive topics, and strong language), students must have parent/guardian consent to receive a copy. Please click here to fill out the Google Form so that your students can receive a copy of this powerful book.

The WMS Student Council is running a collection for animal supplies for a local animal shelter in Clermont County. We are asking students to bring in items that can be donated to the League for Animal Welfare in Batavia. We have reached out to find out what they are most in need of for donations (see picture). The collection will run from March 11 - 20. The FLEX group that brings in the most donations will win donuts!

Attention Class of 2024! All Senior pictures are due by April 1, 2024! Please email pictures to Yearbook Advisor, Ali Arnett, at arnett_a@burgschools.org. If you do not send in your Senior picture, your school picture (taken in the fall) will be used in the Yearbook. If you are still trying it get pictures done, please email Ms. Arnett and let her know. The Yearbook class is also happy to take a few pictures for you. When you send your Senior picture, please also attach a baby picture of yourself. Reach out to Ms. Arnett with any questions.

Although the results of Tuesday's District Championship game weren't what we had hoped for, our little town was shining bright under the lights at UD Arena. From the fans to the cheerleaders, and the student section to the Pep Band, you all showed up in strong numbers to cheer our boys on. We appreciate your support, and are thankful for students who continue to support each other!

Winter Sports have ended and we are moving on to Spring! If you are a Spring Athlete, please make sure that your Final Forms are filled out and fees have been paid.
