Teacher Refresh Success!

Thanks to the families who financially support our PTA through membership and participation in programs.

Last month we were able to purchase nearly $2,000 in supplies to restock our teachers' classrooms with items such as: tissues; pencils; Expo markers; crayons; highlighters; sticky notes; pencil sharpeners; and so much more!

Thank you to Katie Q, Laura O, Lauren K and Nicole H for your efforts coordinating this program. On behalf of the teachers and the PTA, thank you for this support!

5K - Be an Early Bird and Register!

Wolftrap 5k Early Bird Registration Is Still Open!

......but not for long! Early registration for 19th annual Wolftrap 5k on Sunday, April 21st is open through March 24th. Register your family and save money.  After March 24th, registration costs will increase.

Do you have a business you would like to promote to the community?

Our Wolftrap 5k is a great way to do it! We have multiple sponsorship levels that support your needs and interests. A typical race has over 600 registrants. If you are interested in discussing opportunities with us please reach out to Christine Harney at wolftrap5k@gmail.com.

Slime Meter update

We have only 89 registrations so no slime yet! Our registration numbers are at an all time low. We need your help!

Help us make our Raffle Fun!

At the 5k we hold a basket raffle, where families and students can use their raffle tickets to win a themed basket. These are a number of themes this year, and we are seeking donations to fill the baskets.

For convenience, each grade level has been assigned a theme and a corresponding Amazon Wish List for each has been created. Purchases from the list will be sent directly to the 5k & Fun Run Event Committee Lead! Have other items you want to donate? See our website for more information.


Playground Updates

Playground construction is well underway! The PTA is working directly with Dr. Grove and Mrs. O'Donovan on what additional equipment (Benches, shade structures, etc.) can be purchased now that we have costs in hand. Stay tuned for additional information on how the PTA is supporting this outdoor improvement effort.

And the Wonderful Wolfie is...

This week's Wonderful Wolfie is: Lauren Aggerwall!

From her nominator: 
"Lauren is always willing to use her leadership skills, creativity and amazing organizational abilities to help out with a myriad of Wolftrap events. She’s really positive and supportive of everyone around her, and an inspiring person to volunteer with and to know!"


Thanks Volunteers!

The PTA hosted another successful volunteer appreciation event at the Caboose to celebrate YOU.

You are all the parts of the engine that keep our PTA running smoothly and we liked saying thank you! 

Thank you again for everything you do for our students and the Wolftrap Community.
