Also make sure you grab some pics of your 5th grader and their friends with the huge yard sign in the grass. (Make sure to stop by Yogurt Beach afterwards to continue the celebration!)
Yogurt Beach fundraiser (5/26):
We all know that life is better at the beach. . . . even if you can't make it to a real beach we would love for you to celebrate the end of the school year at YOGURT BEACH. Not only do they have amazing frozen yogurt and toppings but they are supporting our PTA. Yogurt Beach donates 30% of every purchase to the PTA (mention the fundraiser at the time of checkout). There is no better way to end the school year right than with some amazing celebratory frozen yogurt.
Next year planning:
We are excited to start looking at planning events and activities for next year. Pending restrictions being lifted we are hoping to be able to host some new events and bring back some previous events!
We want to hear from our families what you'd like next year to look like- please take a minute to fill out this survey or email us at Wolfscrossingpta@gmail.com with any ideas for new or returning events. We would love to host as many fun community building events as we are allowed to host so bring on the ideas and we will see what we can make happen within the parameters set for us!
