We hope to see you this Friday for supper and affordable (and warm) family fun! Lots of great silent auction items - all proceeds support WGS students and staff.


📢 Reminder: Tomorrow, Monday, is Martin Luther King Jr. Day and a teacher inservice day—there will be no school for students, and the daycare will also be closed.
We look forward to seeing everyone back on Tuesday morning! 😊 #ItsAGreatDayToBeABulldog
