A note from Mrs. Solomon
I am overjoyed at the renovated prairie area. Now our Kindness Garden. This week it was leveled, weed barrier fabric and a new mulch layer. Also a magnolia tree and crabapple tree were planted. All of the labor and materials were donated due to our partnership with Kendall’s Kindness by Winter’s Landscape. We moved the tables onto the mulch that now can be used for classrooms and staff have an outdoor work space or place to eat lunch. This Saturday three planter boxes purchased by the PTO will be delivered and placed for students to use next year. Winter's Landscape will be back to fill the planter boxes with the soil for plantings. Our kindness rocks will be at the front of the area, retirement rocks will be back by the crabapple tree. We have a parent donating a couple of bird feeders for the area and the 5th grade gift will be added soon. I hope everyone can find joy in this space for many years to come.
I am incredibly thankful for the generosity of Winter's Landscape and the support of Kendall's Kindness. Thank you to our PTO for purchase of the kindness rocks and the planter boxes to enhance learning for our students and allow our students to leave a legacy here at Wild Rose.
With appreciation,
Mrs. Solomon

THANK You VOLUNTEERS
Today we hosted a volunteer breakfast. We are incredibly grateful to all of our volunteers that help out in many different ways: ALC, PTO events, PAWS Program, Alternative Recess, Classroom Parties, Field Trips, Panther Printing, etc. Whatever the capacity, we are so thankful for all of your help. A special thanks to Carley Alcorn, Amanda Herman-DeSilva & Megan Watson for their time on the Wild Rose PTO board. These women will be passing the torch on and helping in other ways.

END OF THE YEAR MEDICATION PICK-UP FROM THE HEALTH OFFICE REMINDER!!!
Dear Parents:
It’s hard to believe another school year is almost over! This is a reminder if your child has medication in the health office that you will need to come to school to pick up your child’s medication by May 30, 2024 by 3:00 PM. Those medications that are not picked up at the end of the year will be disposed of. Per D303 policy, we are not able to keep medication here over the summer for reuse in the fall. Students may not transport any daily medications, over-the-counter medications, or medicine in liquid form. All other medications would have to be picked up by a parent or adult designee with the parent’s permission unless they have signed a Self Carry form for inhalers and Epi/Auvi Q pens.
Please call the health office at (331) 228-3004 with any questions.
Thank you and have a wonderful summer!
