LWHS/MM Protect the Pack -Families

Greetings, Wolf Nation!

February is a wonderful time to reflect on the growth our students continue to make each day at Little Wolf High School and Manawa Middle School. Classrooms remain busy with learning, collaboration, and opportunities for students to challenge themselves academically and socially. It has been rewarding to see students demonstrate resilience, kindness, and pride in being part of our Wolf Pack.We appreciate the ongoing support from our families and community. Your encouragement plays an important role in student success. As we move through the winter months, we look forward to continued progress, celebrations, and opportunities to keep students engaged and connected.

Take care,

Michelle Johnson, Little Wolf High/Manawa Middle Principal
