Wolf Ridge News for April 8th-12th
Wolf Ridge Students & Families,
πARE YOU READY FOR THE SOLAR ECLIPSE ON MONDAY?
We are ready at Wolf Ridge! The eclipse will take place on Monday, April 8th at approx. 2:00pm. All students and staff have been provided with NASA approved safety glasses. Our teachers have been preparing special lessons for this amazing day of learning as well as teaching our students about the safety concerns. The junior high student council even purchased a special eclipse themed snack for the entire school. I am so excited to experience this rare event with our Wolf Ridge family.
If you would rather your child not participate in the viewing of the eclipse, please email your child's teacher to opt-out. If you are planning to experience this rare event with your child, please notify the office in advance of your child's absence from school on this day. We want this to be a special and safe learning experience for everyone.
THE ECLIPSE IS MONDAY AT 2:00PM

New Playground at Wolf Ridge for the 24-25 School Year
I am excited to announce that our school will be getting an amazing new playground structure added to our playground. This new playground will be installed over the summer and ready for play at the beginning of the school year. The playground pictured above is the exact model that we will be getting! This structure includes four slides, climbers and more! It will also sit on top a rubber solid surface for the utmost safety and durability for many years of play to come for our Bunker Hill students.
