Shoe Tying Recognition
During the next few weeks, the principal will be out at many recesses handing out small prizes to TK-2nd grade students who demonstrate their ability to tie their shoes. Since success is a series of small victories, please be practicing with your young Tigers so they can claim this victory and win a prize.
Lost & Found
If your child lost a clothing item (LOTS of jackets), lunch bag, or water bottle on campus, it's likely we have found it. Our Lost & Found cart is usually stored in the MPR, and we will begin placing it out front on the last day of every school week for you to sift through. At the end of the trimester, all remaining items will be donated to a local charity.
School Spirit Day - Feb.23
The theme for our February 23 spirit day will be "Disney Day" and "Star Wars" Day. Students are encouraged to wear their Disney or Star Wars attire to school because Wildwood Elementary truly is "The Happiest Place on Earth".
