NEWS
WOLF DRIVE
Congratulations to our amazing talent show performers! Thank you to the teachers and staff who participated as well. What a show!
Thank you to everyone who has supported the Wolf Drive so far. We are short of our goal, but we are excited to announce NEW prizes for our raffle available NOW, including I-9 Sports Camp, Arvada Center tickets, and a Clark's gift basket (not to mention a few parking spaces left for next year!) Families can purchase raffle tickets April 19-May 4. Please click HERE to donate or learn more. Every little bit helps up fund the salaries of our Teaching Assistants!
Class artwork displayed at the Art Show is also be available for purchase by silent auction through Saturday, April 27 at 8pm MST. You don't need to have a student in the class to bid on these thoughtful projects!
