Dear Wallace Middle School Families,
It’s time again to begin sign-ups for our annual “Angel Tree.” Each year, community members, churches and staff, sponsor students who need adopted for Christmas.
If you feel that you need help with Christmas for your child, and you have not applied through any other agency/church, please contact Ms. Buffalow, the school guidance counselor at 276-642-5405. She will add your child’s name to the list and make sure that a form is sent home to complete and return to her.
We ask that all requests be made by November 14th to allow time for forms to be sent home, returned and given to our sponsors.
*If you feel that you and your family are in a position to adopt an angel, please let Ms. Buffalow know this as well.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate the origins of the non-specific threat made last weekend. We have no reason to believe the threat was credible.
We appreciate the cooperation and understanding of our school community as we continue to prioritize the safety of our students and staff.
