Wolf Ridge Minutemen & Minutemaids News for March 4th-8th
Wolf Ridge Students & Families,
Our Junior High Scholastic Bowl Team is also on fire! They earned runner-up at the county tournament! They have only lost to one other team so far this season. We wish them luck as they finish up their season.
Junior High Track will be starting this week with the first practice on March 5th after school at Wolf Ridge from 3:30-4:30. It is awesome to see so many students active in extracurriculars and athletics.
There is a lot going on at Wolf Ridge for our junior high students, but we have not left out the little ones either. Preschool screenings will be taking place at our school on March 7th and 8th. If you know someone who has a three or four-year-old child, encourage them to schedule a free screening. All students will get out early on Friday at 12:30. Friday is already the end of the 3rd quarter of school. As we head into our final quarter of school, let's stay focused and positive.
