West Millbrook's school-wide Winter Dance will be held on Friday January 31st from 5-7pm in our school gym! The theme for this year's dance is 'A Night in an Enchanted Forest.' Tickets are on sale but don’t wait as tickets are limited.   You can purchase a ticket for your child online by going to the school website and clicking on 'Families' and 'Online Payments.' If you haven't set up on account for SchoolCash Online, you will need to follow the steps in the document. Once you are logged in, you should see the link to purchase a ticket. 

 

Tickets can also be purchased for $5 cash during lunches on 1/24. 

 

Students attending the dance cannot stay after school and will need to take their usual mode of transportation home and be dropped back off at 5pm. They must be enrolled at West Millbrook to attend the dance and please only purchase tickets for your own children. Email Mrs. Jetter (cjetter@wcpss.net) with any questions.
