Congratulations to Craig Lee of Wildwood Middle School on being named West Virginia's 2020-2021 Bandmaster of the Year by Phi Beta Mu Honorary Bandmaster Fraternity! Mr. Lee received the long-overdue award on March 6 following the All-State Band Concert at the West Virginia Music Educators Conference in Charleston. The ceremony was postponed last year due to the ongoing pandemic. Mr. Lee has positively impacted the lives of countless students throughout his 33-year career in education. Congrats on this well-deserved recognition!

Parents of current 6th and 7th graders:
Last week, students watched a video regarding scheduling for next year, and were emailed the link to a Google form to their Office 365 account. They were asked to fill this form out with their parent/guardian. If you have not already done this with your child, please do so as soon as possible. In the next week or so, I will be following up with parents if that Google form was not filled out.
