Minute by Minute News
March 3rd-7th
Wolf Ridge Students & Families,
We are excited to welcome Dr. Tony Sanders, our State Superintendent, to our school on Monday afternoon. It is wonderful to be able to show off all the great things our students and staff are doing at BH8.
This coming week is the final week of the 3rd quarter. Students will be dismissed early on Friday at 12:30pm. We will also have a fire drill on this day and kickoff our Perfect Pastries Fundraiser. We have done this fundraiser in the past and continue to do it because so many people enjoy these pastries. These funds are used for things like field trips, student incentives and more!
Thank you for your support,
Mrs. Ronen
