The End of Wharton 2022-2023 is Near!!!
Dear Parents/Guardians,
The end of school year 2022-2023 is quickly approaching. With only a few weeks left we have a busy month ahead of us. We are wrapping up our last year with the current 5th graders. In the fall Wharton School will be K-5. Look out for the registration for the upcoming school year. The Wharton team would love to welcome our new Wildcats!!! For more information check the district website...
Wharton School celebrated Administrative Professionals' Day on Wednesday, April 26, 2023. We recognized Mrs. Garza for all of her support and dedication. This day is set aside to recognize the work that secretaries contribute. We are also fortunate to have Mrs. Gloria Gutierrez, Ms. Nora Ramirez, and Ms. Marisol Rodriguez. These individuals are responsible for keeping our school office running smoothly every day.
This week our 5th graders participated in Minute to Win It. Also, a fun filled spirit week celebrating our world and each other! We ended our week with an all school movie and treat. Congratulations to Mrs. Reyes' class for winning the Penny War 2023 competition. The students raised over $700 dollars and it will be donated to BEDS Plus here in Summit.
Welcome to Nurse Julie Richter!!!
