Paw Prints: Updates from Dr. Grove

Dear Wolftrap Families, 

Don’t forget to support our Day of Service coming up on April 15th. We are asking for the community’s help with our wish lists to support our materials. Kinder parents, since your kiddos will be out in the field, maybe you might consider sponsoring another grade? All grade levels need your help!! **You can find our wishlists on the Wolftrap website, linked hereThank you for partnering with us to help our students grow into community-minded leaders.

In addition to our day of service, April 15th being purple up day for our AMAZING military families, AND the Madison pyramid art show, it is the kickoff for our own food bank here at Wolftrap! We have started by assisting some Marshall high school students with their efforts below. Be on the lookout for more details of our Wolftrap food pantry and its location. I’m so proud of our Wolfies! 

For your consideration, I also want to remind you about the Special Education Family Conference listed below. I heard Dr. Moore speak last year, and it was VERY inspirational! 

Please have a very safe and restful SPRING BREAK! 🌸🌸🌸

Dr. Maggie Grove, Principal 

Ms. Megan Tipton, Assistant Principal
