We apologize for the delay in blanket fundraiser orders. Although orders were placed on time, FedEx now estimates delivery on 12/30/25 due to winter weather delays from Canada.
We understand the disappointment and will share updates as they become available. Thank you for your patience and continued support of the WMS Band.

October Bus Driver of the Month: Mr. Ronnie Layne ❤️🤍
Mr. Ronnie has been a blessing to our transportation department over the last year and a half. He is always willing to go the extra mile—driving field trips, vo-tech, and faithfully running his daily bus route. Mr. Ronnie loves his kids and takes his job as a bus driver seriously. He always has a smile on his face, and safety is extremely important to him. Thank you for all you do and for getting our kids home safely each day.
Congratulations, Ronnie!
