We recently announced a new official partnership between Wolftrap Elementary and the Committee for Helping Others, a Vienna-based charity that distributes basic needs to families in our area.
Thank you so much to those who donated canned foods, dry goods, pasta, toiletries, etc. for CHO in January. On Friday, we dropped off 3 full bins at CHO & they are very grateful to have received your donations. Thank you to Shira Enstrom for picking up and dropping off the donations.
In February and March we are focusing on the following items:
- Laundry detergent
- Cooking oil
- Peanut butter and jelly
- Spam
- Velveeta
- Small canned ham, non-refrigerated
Bins are in the office and in the main entrance. Please contact Ms. Azita Behdad at abehdad@fcps.edu if you have any questions!
Wolftrap's official 2023-2024 Yearbook is now on sale through April 10! Order via MySchoolBucks.
For those new to the platform, you will have to create an account, which will link to your student(s) and let you access the Wolftrap School Store to place an order. (Click on browse all items)
Yearbooks will be distributed by the school at the end of the school year. April 10 is an absolute deadline

Girls on the Run (GOTR) is back for its fourth season and will be coached by Jenna Pietro, Aarti Desai, Eliza Ross and our newest Coach Kelly Williams.
GOTR inspires girls in grades 3 through to 6, to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. More details here.
Season kicks off on March 4 with twice a week practices held from 3:30-4:45 on Mondays and Thursdays. You must be able to attend both days each week (absences here and there are to be expected).
We will be working towards a celebratory 5k fun run that will be held the weekend of May 18-19 (day and location TBD).
The Wolftrap ES Program Registration will open Monday, 5th Feb until Tuesday, 27th Feb. All registrants are entered into the lottery to allow everyone a fair and equal chance to join. Payment is due up front and will be refunded should your participant not be granted a space.
