WGMS Students Honored a Academic Awards Night!
Our Winter Awards Night was on January 20, 2010.  We recognized 408 students in grades six, seven, and eight, who earned straight As or all As and Bs. We were proud to see so many sixth graders who are already on the path to academic success and to possibly signing the Golden Book at the end of eighth grade. We were also extremely pleased to see that eighth grade had the most students with straight As. Thank you eighth graders for being such wonderful role models for the school.  Click here to see a student list.pdf and photos of the celebration.mov
