Leap Day Frog Fun!

FROGS

Thank you to Katie Hunter and her team of frog hiders for helping to create a fun memory for our students!

Our PTA hid 229 frogs in our school on LEAP day. The principal recruited patrols to count them, earning our school a PJ day.


Skate Night is Next Week!

Skate Night will be on Saturday March 16th from 6:45-8:15pm at Reston SkateQuest. Everyone is welcome, from novice skaters to more advanced. It's a really fun event and great chance to socialize with other parents as well!

Buy your tickets now for $12 per person.  Prices go up at the door. We can’t wait to see you there.


Our Inaugural "Wonderful Wolfie"

This week's Wonderful Wolfie is Anne Tartaglia. From the words of her nominator: 


"Without Anne, the Talent Show would not have happened this year. She was willing to step up and allow other volunteers to help as they could. With an early February date, most of her usual helpers could not fully commit to the early planning. Anne is a quiet leader who cares deeply about children. She gives of herself without any need or desire for recognition. She is so special and kind."


Playground Update
