Wolf Ridge Minutemen & Minutemaids News for Jan. 29-Feb. 2
Wolf Ridge Students & Families,
It's going to be another great week at Wolf Ridge!
Don't forget that students will be dismissed early on Friday at 12:30PM for school improvement planning. Our 3rd-7th grade students will be participating in another Project Based Learning Day on Friday. Students will get to choose which topic they would like to explore and learn all about it on this day. Students will even create a culminating project that they will present to everyone during an assembly. Last time, students were able to solve crimes, start their own business, plan a marathon, become real estate agents and so much more. I can't wait to see what everyone learns about this time! Be sure to ask your child, "What did you learn at school today?"
