Wildcat Update
October 1, 2023
Happy October! What a beautiful weekend to enjoy the warm temps as fall weather is just around the corner! Please ensure you are sending your student to school with the proper layers, as we will be going outside for recess and PE. The construction is in full swing here as our very well loved primary playground has been demolished. We are excited for our new playground, which is supposed to go up this month! October is sure to be an exciting month culminating in a Halloween Spirit Week. Have a wonderful weekend!

Trunk or Treat will be October 27 from 4:30-6:30. We are so excited to continue our annual tradition. Look out for flyers coming home with the kids soon so you can reserve your spot! If anyone is interested in making phone calls to local businesses and/or getting involved in some of the fun event planning of Trunk or Treat, email whiteleypta@gmail.com. We will be holding a meeting to discuss next week!
5th and 6th Grade T-shirts
5th and 6th grade t-shirt forms went home last weekend. We hope the 5th and 6th graders will be able to wear them for events throughout the school year. What an exciting time that we have two graduating classes this year!
