Dear West Shore Families,
We just wrapped up a busy week of school!As the temperatures continue to rise, I hope you take some time to enjoy the warm weather this weekend.
The Mayor’s Visit -Thursday, March 6th Thursday morning Mayor Giannattasio came to visit Mr. Acri’s class to give an informational presentation on Water Pollution and Long Island Sound. His visit was prompted by a compelling letter that Ivy O. wrote regarding the water pollution in our area.
School Dance - March 21st
Mark your calendars for March 21st from 7 to 9pm! Our Student Council is hosting a themed dance titled "Around the World: Dancing Through Destinations." It's sure to be a lively and enjoyable evening for our students. Click here for the flyer. Permission slips were passed out in homeroom this week.

WSMS PTA Updates:
We are counting the days until the student/staff basketball game. If students wish to participate they need to make a donation of a shelf stable food item to their Physical Education teacher. The game is at Jonathan Law High School in the “new” gym on March 26th at 7pm. This is NOT a drop off event, students must be accompanied by an adult. This is a free event, we are collecting donations of hygiene products (soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, toothpaste, ….) or monetary donations that will be used to purchase items. We look forward to seeing everyone there. For more information click here.
