We NEED YOUR HELP! Food for Others still has many dates open for volunteers to help! Please consider signing up here!
It only takes about an hour and makes a HUGE impact in our community.
The wonderful Wolftrap community has been collecting food for Food For Others, a nonprofit that collects food and donates it to the local community in need.
We need volunteers to pick up the food from the PTA closet on Fridays between 2:00-3:00 p.m. and drop off at the Loading Dock at the Food For Others warehouse.
Please see the additional dates through the end of the school year. Please note March 27 and June 17 are half days.
The food is located in the refrigerator of the PTA Closet (in the cafeteria) and will need to be put in the cooler and bags and brought to your car and dropped off at: 2938 Prosperity Ave., Fairfax VA.
The cooler would need to be returned to the PTA Closet by 10:30 a.m. on Mondays to help collect for the following week.
Please contact Michelle Scalise at (917) 499-4419 or mzscalise@gmail.com with any questions.
Baroody Camps, Inc. are back at Wolftrap next month! Registration begins on March 16th, and classes start April 7th. Be sure to take a look below, at the classes being offered this spring! If you have any questions, please email afterschools@wolftrappta.org.
 
The Spirit Wear and 5K Pajama Jog committee have teamed up to create exclusive Wolftrap pajama pants — perfect for race day, rest day, and everything in between.
Running the Pajama Jog? Great.
Sleeping in? Also great.
Either way, you’ll be showing your Wolftrap pride while supporting PTA programs that enrich student learning and strengthen our school community.
Available in Youth, Adult Women’s, and Adult Men’s sizes.
Registering for the Pajama Jog 5K or Fun Run? Be sure to add pajama pants during online registration! Order now!
Cheering from the sidelines? The Wolftrap Spirit Wear store is open now through March 30th!
Important: Pajama pants are made to order. Once the order window closes, there will be no additional inventory, so be sure to place your order before the March 30th deadline! Delivery will be approximately on or before April 15.
The Wolftrap Walking Wednesday Committee is looking for volunteers to help out on Wednesday mornings! Volunteers are needed to help with clean up and set up. This is a fun way to meet other Wolftrap parents, and the kids love this event!
For more information, or to volunteer, please text Liz Finnerty at
(571) 265-2356.
This year’s 6th graders will be celebrated in style on Friday, June 12 at a breakfast ceremony. The promotion ceremony has been scaled back to its
pre-Covid days. Families will join for a hot breakfast, a brief ceremony, and the celebratory hall walk. If you would like to help, please email ashleyeuhl@gmail.com; or just wait for the sign up genius to come out. This will include spots for set up & clean up volunteers, food donations, and more!
A note from the Skating Commitee:
What a night! Last weekend’s PTA Skate Night was one for the books, our best-attended event in nearly three years, with over 250 skaters hitting the rink! It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces from our Wolftrap Elementary community come together for a night of fun, laughter, and a few wobbly first laps.
We were thrilled to have some of our favorite teachers lace up alongside students and families, and of course, the evening wouldn’t have been complete without the beloved tradition of the 6th Grade Final Skate, a bittersweet and celebratory moment for our soon-to-be middle schoolers.
Thank you to everyone who came out and made this night so special. Events like these are a reminder of just how lucky we are to be part of the Wolftrap community!
