Some breaking news on our new playground! I have received word that Wolftrap is next in the queue and should anticipate groundbreaking in a couple of weeks. I’m scheduled to be at a construction meeting, and I will have more detail for you after that meeting. Please anticipate changes to our recess locations. Teachers will reach out to you to communicate any modifications.

Many thanks to all of you who helped and participated with the talent show. You can see a picture of us getting ready for our next stop on Broadway!
Our best to you,
Dr. Maggie Grove, Principal
Ms. Lisa O’Donovan, Assistant Principal

STAFF SPOTLIGHT: Mr. Joe McClure is our band teacher at Wolftrap, and he has been teaching here for 9 years out of his 11 in education. As you may know, his work with our band students has been outstanding, keeping the kids playing through our Covid closure. Students played online, and Mr. McClure hosted outside holiday concerts, before we could play at concerts again. He loves the support for the arts at Wolftrap and the Vienna community. Thank you, Mr. McClure! |
