Wildwood Weekly

Thank you to all of the Wildwood VIPs who joined us for lunch on campus this past Friday. Our students were thrilled to have you there, and the vibe on campus was uniquely special. We send a BIG Tiger ROAR to our office staff (Karen Meyer, Susan Hollander, and Mimi Arevalo) and the volunteers for making the preregistration and check-in process so efficient.

Our next VIP lunch is scheduled for Friday, April 4. Please save the date and make plans to have another VIP (or the same one...your choice) join us on campus for that special day.

Enjoy these photos below from the event, and remember to email your photos from this and any other school event to our yearbook coordinator, Sarah, at sarahbsheppard@hotmail.com.

Warmly,

Mr. Lynch

At Wildwood Elementary, we’re committed to helping every student start the day ready to learn! Arriving on time sets the tone for a successful day and helps your child stay engaged and focused.

This year, let’s make punctuality a priority. Morning routines and prompt arrivals not only reduce stress but also ensure your child doesn’t miss out on valuable instructional time.

Thank you for partnering with us to create the best learning environment for all students. Let’s make 2025 a year of success—starting with being on time!

Mobile Ed is bringing the STEAM Museum to Wildwood Elementary on Friday, January 24! This program will turn our multi-purpose room into a state-of-the-art, hands-on children’s museum focused on STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math). Students will rotate through stations to experience robots, virtual reality, 3D printing, art, engineering, and more!

Every student will have the opportunity to participate in this one-of-a-kind experience, and we need parent volunteers to supervise some of these self-run stations at these assemblies. Please take a look at THIS form and consider signing-up to serve at one (or more) of our seven grade level assemblies.

Our annual Wildwood Talent Show will take place on March 7, 2025. Do your children have any special talents? Singing? Dancing? Juggling? We’d love to see them! Please encourage your children to start working on their act now. More details about tryouts, practices, and the show can be found in the flier below.

Our CReATE program is looking for volunteers every Thursday from 9:15am-10:45am. Volunteers will set up tables and art supplies in the MPR and encourage creativity! For many students, this morning recess option is a highlight of their week, so we encourage you to volunteer and get in on the fun! No artistic ability required!

If you’re interested in volunteering, please contact Jemma Wildermuth at 818-575-9566.

We can’t wait to climb the readerboards at our upcoming book fair! Our online book fair is OPEN! Get a head start on books, games, and more at literati.com/store, then join us in the MPR at the Story Arcade: February 3-7 select dates before and after school, and every day during lunch recess!

Our readers could use a Player 2—are you ready to level up your reading game? Help our students collect reading power-ups as a book fair volunteer! Use this link [https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C48ABAF2CA3F94-wildwood1] to volunteer for one of the many opportunities available throughout the fair!

Our Wildwood Jogathon seems like a while away, but did you know we form our committee and begin the planning NOW? We'd love any and all parents to join us to begin coordinating all that goes into this memorable event! Please join us at the General Association meeting on Thursday, January 23 at 5:30pm. At the end of the meeting, we will dedicate a few minutes to Jogathon planning. Hope to see you there. Any questions, reach out to Tracy Yoder tracyoder@gmail.com
