 WFES Girls on the Run finished their season at the Girls on the Run race last weekend, with support from Mr. Gray and Ms. Callahan.
 Soil scientist Dan Schwartz visited from the NoVa Soil and Water Conservation District to talk to the third graders about the components of soil and the importance of protecting this natural resource.
Every year we have to say farewell to some of our amazing staff members. This year we have three teachers retiring after many years of committed service. We're sad to be saying good bye to Carmen Alvarez-Keefer, Nina Rumohr and Kathleen Linehan.
Please help us celebrate these amazing ladies Wednesday, June 5th from 4:00 - 5:00 PM in the cafeteria.

Important news from the Wakefield Forest Library – all library books due Friday, 5/31!
Greetings from the WFES Library! We had an absolutely fabulous year in library land, with a little over 32,000 books checked out. We love how much our students love reading!
Student library book checkout ended for the year on Friday, 5/24. All families will receive a list via email of all books on their students’ library accounts on the afternoon of Tuesday, 5/28. This email will include ALL books currently checked out to EACH student, whether they are overdue or not. If you have more than one child who attends WFES, you will receive a separate email for each one. Please use this list as a guide and take some time during the coming week to gather up all books and send them back to school ASAP. Updated lists will be sent every few days after this and daily the last week of school so all obligations can be met prior to the last day of school. There will also be an option to pay for or replace missing books that have been lost. We greatly appreciate your assistance in helping us get our collection back to its full capacity before the summer so it can be enjoyed by the upcoming generation of readers next year!

The Solving Fun Puzzle Pals have been hard at work, creating an exhilarating adventure for puzzle solvers. We are thrilled to announce the Fairfax County Puzzle Hunt, a unique community event that will take you on a journey to the wonderful parks in Fairfax County. Starting this summer, solve one puzzle or do them all. Puzzles are filled with creative thinking, logic, and wordplay. They are designed to be challenging and accessible for all skill levels. Solve the puzzles and then find clues at the parks for a final meta-puzzle. Walk, bike, and roll at our wonderful local parks with friends and family. For more information go to www.solvingfun.com/fairfax.
