Thank you Wolftrap Parents!

As we head into the Thanksgiving holiday, we wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU to all the parents who make all our PTA Programs possible. The board is always hearing from staff and people in the community just how amazing the Wolftrap PTA is and it's truly all thanks to all of you who pitch in to volunteer for and organize our programs. We do so much because you're so generous with your time and resources and we are extremely grateful. Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping make this year so far an outstanding one.

Book Fair a Huge Success

That’s a wrap on the 2023 Book Fair! Because of the generous support from our Wolftrap families, the PTA was able to purchase 60 new books for our school library from the proceeds of this event! 💚 Here’s Mrs. Hardin with the school library’s new titles.

We love events that bring our community together and support our school in such a large, tangible way! Huge shoutout to Kim Dean and all the amazing volunteers who made this event run so smoothly. Enjoy all your new books!
