Head of School Lisa A. Lalama
This week is our annual auction, Bidding on the Bayou - the fundraising event that the WMS community looks forward to each year. It is a chance for us to come together, relax, catch up and support WMS. The auction committee has been working for months to make this the best auction yet!
Each year I am surprised by the joy and the excitement of the people who attend the auction. There are families and friends we see in the hallways each day, staff members from today and the past, and alumni families who come back to check in with us and support our mission.
WMS is a strong community of people who have supported and encouraged us and shared our story for the past 51 years. There are many schools, but only one WMS. We were founded by parents who wanted more from a school and worked hard to make it happen. We have continued to thrive with the continued support of those parents and countless others who chose WMS for their children.
Saturday night is the chance for us all to come together and enjoy each other's company while supporting the school that stands for quality in education, respect for each other, responsibility for our world and joy in learning. We hope you will join us.
