The Wolf Howl
Week of February 27-March 3, 2017
Last weekend our Math-Science team and our Band racked up many awards. You’ll see the specifics below. Our Campus Excellence Committee (CEC) meeting took place on Monday where we looked at our progress on our school goals. Also that day I had a chance to swing by the Special Olympics basketball game and see a few of our Wolves take on the city of Grapevine’s first responders. Tuesday we had GCISD AVID district directors visit our classrooms to see how the Wolves prepare our students for college. Also in that day, our students and staff all wore denim to support Rare Disease Day. Wednesday and Thursday we had several students audition for our school musical- Suessical. We also hosted a zone track meet on Thursday evening. Friday our 7th & 8th grade Choir students participated in a pre-UIL concert in the SAC. The spring semester is a busy one. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pike this week, shall we?
