Wolf Creek Families,

This has been an exciting week.  Tuesday, we held our assembly honoring veterans who are members of our WCES community.  Our Cub Scout pack, Wrangler Choir, Mrs. Winkel, and the Culture Committee all worked to make this a special event for everyone.  We are grateful to our veterans for their service and for choosing to spend part of their week with us. 

If you are free tonight, come on down to the Turkey Trot. Cash entry fees and collected canned goods will all go to the Spring Hill Food Pantry. It's always a good time. The trotting starts at 6:00!

The positive energy and fun will continue next week. On the afternoon of the 14th, we’ll have our Disco Dance Party for all the students as a thank you for a successful fundraiser. This event is sponsored by PTO and run with volunteers. We are so fortunate to have families here who support our school. If you have not yet signed up as a volunteer, and might be interested, take a look at the following link for more information.

It looks like we’re in for some beautiful weather. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

- Beth Cooper, Principal
