Friday Flag & Principal Coffee - Jan. 27th at 7:45 am
Start your Friday off with all of the Wildcats and Sundance staff by joining the Friday Flag assembly on the Sundance black top. It’s a wonderful way to experience a little part of your student’s day and connect with the school. Then join Principal Katz for coffee or tea in the Library to hear about upcoming school events. The Principal coffee is hosted by the Foundation & PAC.
Save The Date: Family Magic Night - February 10th, 6-7 pm
The Red Envelope campaign was a HUGE success and we’ve recently surpassed our goal of raising $30,000! To celebrate this milestone, all of our Wildcats will enjoy a Magic Show assembly during school, plus we are hosting a Night of Magic for the whole family to show our appreciation. More details to come, but we hope to see you there!
