Hello Wolf Pack,
It's been a jam packet week at Selkirk! Spring sports games are underway and we have about 200 students participating! It's so great to see so many involved!
We also welcomed our 5th grade families at our Parent Night on Thursday evening and incoming 5th grade students visited today. We loved seeing them as they watched our music programs perform and as they interacted during games and a tour of our school with 8th grade leadership students.

Thank you to all our wolves and staff who helped make these events a fun success.
