Continuing with last week's theme of progress, we are elated to report that the drop-off and pick-up procedures all around the Wildwood campus are rapidly improving. The collective efforts of our school community (parents, staff, students) are to be credited for this change that is creating a safer environment for the children. Keep it up, Tiger Family!

On campus, we are also celebrating improvements to our physical environment that promote greater safety and learning on campus: most notably, the newly installed shade structures and the restoration of our library to its permanent home. The shade structures are already helping us beat the heat we've been experiencing lately, and the library will open this coming week for classroom visits.

We've included a few photos of these campus improvements below, and we hope you will take a look for yourself next time you're on campus to volunteer or to enjoy one of our many community building events.
