March Madness Comes to WLMS!

 Tiger Shark Pride!

Last night, we held our third annual March Madness 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament and Family Wellness Event at the school. We had over 300 families, friends and supporters of WLMS attend this event. I am happy to report that this broke last year's attendance record by over 100 people! The proceeds from this tournament are used to purchase books and other materials for our media center.

I want to congratulate Ms. McNeill-McBrien, Ms. Todd and Mr. Spicher for doing such an outstanding job organizing this event and to all of the PTSA volunteers who helped make this tournament such a huge success. In addition, I want to commend our very talented student musicians who performed during the tournament under the direction of our very own Mr. Messick! I believe this is the first-ever Pep Band WLMS has ever had! Great job!

I also want to thank Mr. Todd, Principal of Running Brook Elementary, Mr. Martin, Principal of Bryant Woods Elementary, and Mr. Walsh for playing on my team. It was a blast playing with these scholar athletes and showing the WLMS students that old guys can play, too.

I also want to thank the Book Ladies for making an appearance at the tournament last night. As you might recall, the Book Lady is somewhat a celebrity at our school. She is a famous rapper, book reader, TV personality and now basketball player. She came to support the cause and brought two of her friends! Simply AMAZING! ; )

Thanks to everyone who played, cheered, performed and attended last night! And a special shout-out to the 2011 tournament champions - the Souljas!
