I had a wonderful time attending the Thoreau/Kilmer Honor band concert last week. Not only did I get to see our current students, but I also got to see some Wolftrap alums who go to Marshall High School. It reminds me of what wonderful staff we have here, working with our students in a variety of ways. Mr. Joe McClure, our band director, prepared our students beautifully for the concert. We have an amazing staff!
Warmly,
Dr. Grove
Principal

CONGRATULATIONS to Ms. Suzanne Arrison:
Ms. Arrison presented the work that she has done with her 5th grade class using Portrait of a Graduate Skills at a recent POG-POL share fair. The symposium was attended by teachers and leadership from around FCPS. It was a wonderful time to share and network with colleagues.

COVID test kits:
If your family is planning to travel or attend large gatherings during spring break, and you would like to ensure your child is healthy before returning to school, please contact us at the Wolftrap office to obtain a test kit in advance of spring break. Please note, testing is NOT required for students to return to school after break. However, you may want to test your student if they are symptomatic or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.
You may receive 2 kits per student on a first come, first served basis, until we have distributed all kits. Parents may contact the Wolftrap office to access a kit while supplies last. Our school will be receiving more kits after Spring Break to keep for our clinic to distribute to families who pick up a sick student from school.
District News/In Case You Missed It (ICYMI):
In case you missed it in FCPS This Week, the school division shared updates on the following topics:
- Update Your Emergency Information in weCare@school
- Parent Information Phone Lines Available in Eight Languages
- Registration Open for Virtual Strategic Planning Community Forums
Read FCPS This Week to learn more about these topics. If you are not already receiving the weekly newsletter, sign up today.
Believe it or not, it's time to think about the next school year! At our last PTA meeting, we voted in our Nominating Committee, who will help us find our new candidates for open Board positions next year. If you're interested in learning more about the Board, fill out this interest form so we can reach out to you. Elections will take place at the May PTA meeting and new officers start their role on July 1.
Our 5k Raffle Baskets need your help! Raffle basket items are due before Spring Break on March 31st.
Our raffle baskets are fully community donated. Please consider purchasing items from our handy grade assigned Amazon Wish Lists OR drop off new goodies you have kicking around the house to the Wolftrap front office.

After a few years of virtual offerings, the Wolftrap Talent Show is back in person at Madison High School and all students are encouraged to participate!
Parents, please encourage your student(s) to consider short (1-2 minute) performance ideas, including but not limited to: musical acts, dance, magic, comedy, drama, martial arts, and STEM related projects that can be demonstrated on stage. More details regarding sign-ups to perform in the show and to volunteer will be forthcoming.
 Congratulations to our two Odyssey of the Mind teams that competed on Saturday. The Primary team (Alex A., Jordan G., Max L., Gemma Q., Ari A., and Juliet R.) created and presented an original skit for the Dinos on Parade problem and received an OMER Award for sportsmanship and kindness! The Division 1 team (Julia L., Kiki O., Carter T., Ben R., Sara Q., and Preston S.) did a fantastic job presenting their original skit featuring a vehicle they could ride in to complete various tasks in the Pirates and the Treasure problem! Special thanks to the team coaches - Nicole Lallemand, Kathryn Rifenbark, and Shanna Qazi - and to Dr. and Mr. Grove for volunteering as judges at the tournament!
Congratulations to first grader Cole B. whose Film Production entry in the primary level placed FIRST at the Virginia PTA level! His winning entry will now be moving on the the National level! We’re all so proud of you Cole!
