Hello, Wolfies

Spring events are heating up!

See below for all the details on Talent Show, Edison Expo, and more! We have so many fun events still coming this year. Please reach out to us if you'd like to get involved with any of these events.

It's also time to start thinking about leadership opportunities for next school year. We're currently looking for a couple more current PTA members to fill out our Nominating Committee for next year's board positions. Please reach out to president@wolftrappta.org for more information.


On the Horizon

Feb. 10: Talent Show

Feb. 22: Edison Expo (STEAM Fair)

Mar. 16 - Skate Night 


Talent Show is this Saturday!

Talent Show

The Wolftrap Talent Show is from 6:00pm to 8:00pm this Saturday at the Marshall High School auditorium! Please get the word out to friends and family to see these awesome students show their creativity, talent and courage on stage! 

If you are a performer or a volunteer, please arrive at 5pm. Park at Door 5 and follow the signs to the auditorium. Performers will have assigned seats directly in front of the stage and parent volunteers will help them get on and off stage at the right times. All props should be delivered to the backstage crew as soon as performers arrive.

We still need a few more parent volunteers to help usher the performers. Please email talentshow@wolftrappta.org if you are interested in helping out the day of the show.


Edison Expo Coming Soon

Hypothesize, Experiment, Analyze and Bring Results!

The Edison Expo, Wolftrap’s STEAM Fair, is only two and a half weeks away on Feb 22! The Edison Expo offers all students K-6 an opportunity to showcase a project, invention or informational display.

Fan favorite, the Egg Drop Challenge – for 5th and 6th graders – will also be happening at the Expo! Can you design a contraption that keeps an egg intact dropping 4 feet, 6 feet or more?
