It's time again for a Wolftrap favorite -- the annual cookie event for our amazing Wolftrap Teachers and Staff! We are seeking donations of either homemade or store-bought cookies and/or other sweet treats such as brownies, peppermint bark or dipped pretzels. The PTA Teacher & Staff Appreciation Committee will provide boxes for the teachers and staff to take home their own selection of sweet treats to enjoy with their families for the holidays. If you would like to participate, please sign up for a slot! All items must be delivered no later than December 19th at 1:00 p.m. Please see the sign up for more details. Thank you!
We know that the Holiday Season can be busy and stressful. As a convenience to families, the PTA has organized an EASY and PERSONALIZED way for families to make our WES Staff’s Holiday Season SUPER special. And not just that, you are giving the staff exactly what they want: the ability to choose their own gift! Click here to access the Wolftrap Elementary Holiday Gifting Page.
We'd love to recognize our classroom teachers as well as any additional staff members using this platform (specials and electives teachers, custodial staff, cafeteria staff, administrative staff, etc.). This gift giving platform allows users to include a personal greeting and also allows staff to choose how to redeem their gifts.
Step by step instructions for how to give can be found in the membership toolkit on the PTA website. Please note that gift recipients will only be able to see the names of their contributors and any greeting sent as well as the total amount received. Individual contribution amounts will not be shown.
As always, gift giving is completely optional, and there are many ways we can thank our teachers, so if a homemade card, drawing or other small token makes more sense for your family, please do not hesitate to do that!
The gift collection ends on December 18th at 9:00 p.m. ET. At that time, gifts will be sent to their respective recipients.
The Winter 2025 After school Enrichment Programs are here! Registration opens this Monday, December 16th, at 8:00 p.m. and closes on Sunday, January 5th, at 11:59 p.m. Registration, program details, schedules, and fees, can be accessed at https://bc-ffx-wolftrap.jumbula.com.
Please contact us with any questions at afterschools@wolftrappta.org.
Wonderful Wolfies!!! It's time to think about performing in the 2025 Wolftrap Talent Show! If you like to perform and show off your creativity, we'd love to see it! In the past, acts have included singing, dancing, magic acts, martial arts and wrestling demonstrations, and more! Please sign up for previews here to participate in the show on February 22nd. Previews will take place in the cafeteria on January 21st, 23rd and 24th from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. You don't need to have a fully-formed act in order to sign up. You may just give us the basic details in the form. One thing to note: if you have prerecorded music in your act it must be emailed to the Talent Show Committee, fully edited and in mp3 format. We request that acts be no more than two minutes long. Please email questions to talentshow@wolftrappta.org. Thanks for making this Wolftrap Elementary tradition so great every year!"
Thank you to everyone who has sent in pictures for the yearbook so far! The yearbook couldn't happen without your help. Pictures are still needed from all events this year: Wolftrap Under the Stars, Pizza Bingo, Walking Wednesdays, Bike train, field trips, winter parties, AIM, Veterans Day, Book Fair, Open House, Chorus, Band, Strings, etc. Please send full resolution images to yearbook@wolftrappta.org with the event and class name. Thank you!
Your 2024-2025 Board is available to answer questions and help direct you however they can! Please reach out at board@wolftrappta.org OR check out the website at www.wolftrappta.org.
