We had an amazing Start with Hello Week at Wolf Ridge. I hope that all students were encouraged as they entered our building with special greeters each day and throughout the day with our kindness challenges. Please thank Mrs. Manar if you see her for setting up everything for this fun week. I encourage your family to continue to spread kindness with a simple, "hello" and smile to all you meet. Check out the Bunker Hill CUSD8 Facebook page to see pictures from throughout our week.

Your Principal,

Mrs. Ronen

We will have order forms for both sports pictures and school picture retakes available at the beginning of this coming week in the office. Please let your child's teacher know if he/she is planning on getting retakes or pictures due to being absent.

Girls basketball players should bring their entire uniform to school that day for the picture including their basketball shoes.

Baseball and softball players will get their jerseys back to wear for the picture and then collected back from them on this day. They will still need to bring in their pants, socks, belts, etc.

Here is the online ordering link for sports photos this year.
