A Message from Dr. Lowry
Timberwolf Family,
Happy Sunday! Thank you to our Timberwolves, and our community, for an amazing week. Additionally, thank you for going above and beyond to show appreciation to our outstanding counselors. Our counselors felt loved by all! This week is Bus Driver Appreciation week! Please take some time to say thank you and let our bus drivers know we appreciate them. They have an incredibly hard job and a small thank you goes a long way.
Let me say, we have some fabulous artists who will be participating in the 1st Annual Katy ISD 2023 FFA Livestock Show Art Exhibit this weekend. Be sure to check out their amazing artwork below.
Now that we are thawing out, our Timberwolves are gearing up for our Spring season of sports. Be sure to check out all the details below for Tennis and Soccer Tryouts.
To our 8th Grade Parents, it's not too early to start thinking about the 8th Grade Snow Ball Celebration. This PTA sponsored event will be held on Saturday, April 22nd. Please see flyer below for information about this awesome event.
Our PTA Spring Fundraiser is in full swing, I mean full DUNK. Please consider donating funds for your child to receive some cool incentives. 100% of all donations will benefit our campus!
As always, thank you for all the love you give WoodCreek Junior High School. We appreciate our outstanding community and I hope everyone has a fantastic week. GO TIMBERWOLVES!
Dr. Andrew Lowry
Principal
