Raffle Baskets

Our raffle baskets are OFF THE HOOK! We have many options this year. Large stuffed animals, date night baskets to include gift certificates for dinner or overnights, theme park tickets, game baskets, spa baskets and more! Our raffle baskets are both contributed to by the Wolftrap Community and donations from a variety of community businesses.

There are two ways to donate: our Amazon Wish Lists organized by grade or by providing new items that you have in your home or purchase. Any new items can be dropped off at the school front office. Help us make the raffle baskets awesome!

Register today

Remember, more registration means more slime! We are only 30 registration away from slimming our first faculty member, Mrs. Carbajal. We have a long way to go to have an opportunity to slime Dr. Grove. It's a student favorite event! Help us and register by Friday April 5th to be guaranteed a shirt. After April 5th available shirts will be on first come first serve.

Activities beyond Running/Walking

The 5k is not just about the run, it's about community! The Wolftrap PTA has a number of activities on race day including food sales, cake walk, large raffle, DJ, and a Slime your Faculty event. To find out more information on the events and timing of these events check out our 5k website

Volunteers Needed

The 5k can’t run without our volunteers! We have multiple stations that need your support. Volunteering for race support on the various corners of our race route is a fantastic way for middle or high school students to earn service hours. Sign up to bring cake or other goodies for our cake walk. Check out opportunities on ourSignUp Genius here.
