Message From the Principal
Dear Wheeler Families,
My message to all Wheeler Families is short and sweet. I'd like to commend Miss B. and Wheeler's Student Council for their leadership in kicking off our two week "Look for the Good Campaign!" Below is a video that will give you a sense of the origin of this campaign and why it is a great initiative for our school! Also, below the video is a picture of the Wheeler's Student Council's Bulletin Board and our wall of gratitude in the cafeteria! I am grateful to Miss B. and Wheeler's Student Council for their initiative, leadership, hard work, and motivation to make our school an even greater place to teach and learn! They are truly, "Leaders of the PACK"!
Thank you,
Mr. B.
Principal, Frank T. Wheeler Elementary School
The Gratitude Wall is full of what students are Grateful for!

Read Across America Day and Week at Wheeler
PHS Students perform at Wheeler
On March 2nd, we had a whole school assembly celebrating Dr. Seuss's Birthday and Read Across America Day! Under the leadership of Mr. Riccardo (teacher from PHS), we were very fortunate to have four of PHS's finest Bluedevils perform three stories by Dr. Seuss in skit format. It was clear to the entire Wheeler School how hard they worked and practiced to make this performance highly engaging for our students!
