We had a GREAT night at Madison thanks to the efforts of Rachel Burns and her team. Our Wolftrap faculty came away with a fun win against our cross town school, Louise Archer. Thanks to all who volunteered to sell concessions, referee the game, set up the equipment, and especially to everyone who stayed after to clean up! We can't do these wonderful events without you.

Wolftrap PTA's Artist in the Making (AIM) program will be holding its final parent training session for the year on April 11, from 8:45-9:45 in the Wolftrap cafeteria for grades K-5 volunteers. The April/May artist is Antonio Gaudi, a Spanish Art Noveau architect who incorporated sculptural forms in the design of his buildings.

The AIM Committee is recruiting for the 2024-25 school year, so please email aim@wolftrappta.org to help - no experience or "artisiness" necessary!
