Dear Wredling Families,
As we reflect on Teacher Appreciation Week, we want to extend our sincere gratitude to the incredible educators who pour their time, energy, compassion, and expertise into supporting our students every single day. Their dedication goes far beyond the classroom, and we are grateful for the lasting impact they make on our school community. While Teacher Appreciation Week gives us a special opportunity to celebrate them, we encourage our families to continue sharing words of thanks and appreciation throughout the year. A kind note, email, or conversation can go a long way in recognizing the meaningful work our staff does each day.
In that same spirit of community and partnership, we are also looking to grow our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). In a building of our size, strong connections between families and school staff are essential, and our PTO plays an important role in supporting students, staff, and school events. We are actively seeking parents interested in serving on the PTO board or helping with committees such as spirit wear and other school initiatives. If you are interested in getting involved, please reach out to Amanda Eakins at amanda.eakins@hotmail.com. We would love to continue building a strong and supportive school community together.
Wredling Community
I want to extend my deepest and most heartfelt thank you for everything you contributed during Teacher Appreciation Week. Your generosity, kindness, and support throughout the entire week truly made an impact on every single teacher and staff member. Each day felt special because of you — whether it was through gift card donations, wishlist items, or the time you gave, every gesture mattered more than you know.
We’re genuinely grateful to be part of a community that so fully supports the people who dedicate their lives to teaching, guiding, and caring for our children. It is not just about academics — it’s the life lessons, encouragement, and stability our staff provides every day — and your appreciation affirmed how valued they truly are.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for showing up in such a meaningful way. It made this week unforgettable, and it truly reflected the strength and heart of our Wredling community. As we close out another school year, we feel nothing but gratitude for all of you. 💖💝
Sincerely Natasha Lippi
Wredling PTO Staff Appreciation Chair

All medications must be picked up by an adult over the age of 18 prior to the last day of school. The only medications we can send home with students are epinephrine pens, inhalers, and diabetes supplies.
We ask that all medication be picked up prior to May 26, 2026.
Any medications that are not picked up by 2 PM on Wednesday May 27th, will be disposed of by the health office. We do not keep medications in the health office during the summer break.

Help Us Collect ONE MILLION Pop Tabs!
We’re on a mission to collect one million pop tabs for Ronald McDonald House Charities, and we can’t do it without YOU (and your grandparents, cousins, neighbors, and carpool crew)!
Those tiny aluminum tabs from soda cans, soup lids, or sparkling water may seem small—but when we collect them together, they add up to real support for families with seriously ill children.
Here’s how to pitch in:
Save your pop tabs at home—and ask your grandparents, cousins, friends, and neighbors to do the same!
Bring them to school all year long.
Every tab brings us closer to our 1,000,000-tab goal!
Let's pull together and make a difference!
