Dear Area Community Business Partner, World Language Middle School is a Columbus City School newly established in 2021, serving over 550 students in grades 6-8. Located in northwest Columbus, WLMS is the home for the district’s new American immigrant students as well as Spanish and French immersion students. Our students and staff represent over 35 countries, and we proudly offer a language-focused, internationally-oriented curriculum. We are honored to be the recipient of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs Label France Education for excellence in bilingual education. WLMS is in the exciting process of building community and expanding arts programming. This year we will be building from the success for our first two shows and doing Annie Jr February 26th, 27th and 28th 2026. We are very excited to nurture the creative growth of our youth! This year we have more than 40% of our school enrolled in music and performance based classes of some variety, and are one of only a handful of CCS Middle Schools presenting a musical.

We are asking local businesses to support our scholastic performing art groups by advertising in the printed guest programs that will be handed out at performances. Your advertisement will appear in our professionally produced program for Annie Jr. and handed out to all of our attendees. This is a great chance for your business to be promoted to our students, parents and local community members. Please email your ad design as a pdf or jpeg and send that information to rswartz@columbus.k12.oh.us Advertisement requests and payments are due by Friday, February 6th in order to have your advertisement ready to put in the program. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out, we appreciate you working with our short timeline!
