Here at WMS, we understand that before a student can remember, understand, and apply what they’re learning, their physiological needs, such as food, clothing and basic hygienic needs must be met, and they must feel that they are safe, loved and that they belong.
WMS has a Care Closet that is accessible to any student in need of basic essentials including : food, shampoo, soap, deodorant, socks, underwear, toothbrushes, and school supplies. If your student is in need, please refer them to our WMS School Social Worker.
If you are interested in donating to our Care Closet, please contact ourr WMS School Social Worker.
