Message from Mrs. Durso

Wolf Pack, 

We hope you had a meaningful Memorial Day honoring our nation's heroes. Learn about the history of Memorial Day.  

Last week, we had our 5th and 6th grade chorus concert. Thank you to Mrs. Peterson for leading this group of talented performers!

If you are in the mood for some ice cream, tonight is our Baskin Robbin's Spirit Night! While it's not the same as our Fall Scoop Night, you may get to see some teachers while helping raise some funds for our school. 

In Partnership, 

Kelly Durso, Principal

Cali Loewenberg, Assistant Principal

Students may bring in gently used books through June 3rd, leave them in the Summer Book Exchange bins (located by the front door and kiss-and-ride entrance), and take a receipt good for an equal number of books (up to 15 books per child).

On June 4th and 5th, each class will have a chance to go to the Book Exchange with their receipt and “shop” for their selections.
