Volunteers needed for Fall Fest
Make sure to mark your calendars for Fall Fest event on Friday, October 27 from 5-8pm. The games, bouncy houses, petting zoo, raffles, food, friends and fun will surely be a highlight of the year for your family.
In order for an event of this magnitude to come together, many volunteers are needed to lend a hand. We invite every Wildwood family to find a way to serve in some capacity by contributing to the event or working a shift at our Fall Fest. Even former students are invited to sign up to work the alumni booth or another volunteer position of their choosing.

Warmly,
Mr. Lynch

Our TK class also did some Art and colored in some bats we will be using during our next class to make “flying” bats. We did an echolocation activity which was lots of fun too!
