Thank you to PFK for organizing and all those that donated towards the cost of shirts.

PERFECT PASTRIES FUNDRAISER KICKOFF
Fundraiser: Monday, February 12th-Monday, March 4th
Wolf Ridge students can help support our school by selling perfect pastry items. Order forms will be going home with students on Monday, February 12th. Students should return forms with money collected and/or complete online sales by March 4th.
We are adding on to our playground, encouraging each grade level to go on a field trip and paying for additional classroom supplies and materials for our project-based learning days with these funds. Recently, we were able to complete some murals with our school colors using money from past fundraisers. Please do not feel obligated to participate. We appreciate your support!
