Wildwood Weekly

We have officially entered into a special season here at Wildwood Elementary. This past week, our school celebrated Red Ribbon Week by spending 5 days focusing on different aspects of healthy living. Our Tigers had fun playing with Cal Lutheran athletes, walking to school, visiting with local first responders, tasting red nutritious foods, wearing crazy socks to school, and celebrating with our entire school community at Friday's Fall Fest!

Join me in thanking our PTA, the Fall Fest committee, our many volunteers, and Sarah Casey, our Fall Fest coordinator, for organizing and executing the BEST FEST IN TOWN! Towers were climbed, animals were pet, games were won, adults were dunked, food was consumed, baskets were sold, money was raised, community was strengthened, and memories were made that will last a lifetime.

This coming week, we will sandwich a week of fun and learning between our annual All Grades Costume Parade on Monday morning (See details below) and a lunchtime 50's Sock-Hop on Friday. Also, please remember that there will be NO SCHOOL on Tuesday, November 1.

See you bright and early on Monday!

Warmly,

Mr. Lynch

Our Annual All Grades Costume Parade will begin at 8:20am on Monday, October 31st.

ALL parents, guardians, and visitors must be wearing a badge from the front office. You will need to present your license or picture ID for this process.This includes adults who walk students on campus for drop-off.

The office will be open from 7:45am-8:20am for check-in. Please consider checking in early to help us reduce wait time.

As a reminder, student costumes must be school appropriate. Full face masks, excessive blood or gore, and any type of weapon are not permitted.

Any students who do not wish to participate in the parade will be provided an alternate activity.

We look forward to seeing you at our All Grades Costume Parade.

Our 50th Anniversary team is planning a 50's Sock Hop to be held during lunchtime on Friday, November 4 - our 50th day of school in our 50th year of operation. Students and staff are encouraged to come to school dressed in 50's attire for a day of fun and celebration.

We are currently looking for a handful of parents who would be willing to dress up (50's style) and join us for our 50's Dance Party in the MPR at lunchtime from 11:20am-1:05pm. NO DANCE EXPERIENCE NECESSARY - just a fun-loving spirit and a willingness to gently encourage our students to get on the dance floor.

Please contact Kristina Martinez kpadilla22@yahoo.com to express your interest and join the fun!
