Wolftrap Kindness Challenge

Wolftrap students and staff will join together for the Wolftrap Kindness Challenge, Monday, February 22 through Friday, February 26.  There is a fun spirit day theme and a suggested act of kindness for each day of the week. This event will coincide with welcoming students back into the building, so we can all show kindness to our friends as they return! We invite everyone to promote kindness in our community by participating in this positive school-wide event!  See the schedule of events listed below and join us in this wonderful week of kindness!

Wolftrap Virtual Talent Show 2021

talent show

Is your child a fantastic skateboarder? What about a media wiz or a music mix master? Does your kid bake incredible cupcakes or shoot hoops with precision? This year’s Talent Show is virtual, that means the talents we include go WAY beyond what we have done in the past. We want our Wolftrap students to show off their mad skills and it’s as easy as uploading a video from your phone!! The show is Saturday, March 20th at 7:00 PM.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE!
If you have not turned in your talent show act yet, don't worry!! There's still time. Please get it to us this week!
