This week, Wildwood Elementary received a heartfelt gift of over 300 books in honor of beloved former teacher, Barbara Saum, who touched countless lives during their time at Wildwood. The donation celebrates Barbara’s passion for education and commitment to nurturing young minds.

These books will find a home in our classrooms and reading spaces, ensuring that Barbara’s love for learning continues to inspire future generations.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the generous donors who made this tribute possible. Together, we honor the legacy of a truly remarkable educator!

Last week, our school had an amazing visit from the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum! Students in every class participated in engaging assemblies filled with exciting hands-on activities and experiments. From exploring the wonders of science to sparking curiosity with interactive demonstrations, it was a memorable experience for all. Thank you to the museum for bringing the joy of discovery to our school! Ask your child about their favorite part of the assembly—you might hear about some fascinating experiments!

Even if your student received medication last year, a new form needs to be turned in before medication can be dropped off. Please make arrangements to drop off medication and the supporting documentation to the main office. Medication should not be sent to school along with the student for safety concerns.
