Epic game between WMS Soccer and WMS Football teams. No injuries, thank goodness. I did not want to have to explain to their coaches!

Good afternoon, all. We are very sorry to say that we feel it is in the best interest of our students to cancel our dance tomorrow evening due to a lack of chaperones. Our dances always attract a large number of students and it is very important that we set them up for success and fun. We will look at the rest of our dance dates and see what adjustments we can make to ensure that we can provide fun, safe experiences for our students.
Thank you for your understanding.
