Today we honored two incredible educators as they officially enter retirement. Ms. Williams and Sgt Jackson, thank you for the years you gave to Wolfson. We wish you lots of relaxation and happiness in your retirement!
As we wrap up another amazing school year, we'd like to offer a huge THANK YOU to all of the amazing parents and community members who have played a role in supporting Wolfson this year. We wish every member of the Wolfpack a relaxing and rejuvenating summer. If you are looking for a way to support the faculty & staff at Wolfson as we close out this school year, please consider looking over these wish lists from our different departments. Supplies from these lists will be collected at the school all summer and will be distributed to the members of the department when we return in August.
Please save the date for orientation on August 7th! Incoming 9th grade students as well as all students new to Wolfson should arrive before 9am for a brief presentation with Principal Begley in the gym.
Today the boys basketball team had the chance to meet our new Head Coach: Wesley Person. Coach Person joins Wolfson after an impressive career in the NBA, having been drafted in the first round after playing at Auburn University, where his Jersey #11 remains retired in his honor.
We are so honored and excited to have Coach Person join the Wolfpack!
Congratulations class of 2025!!!!
Congrats to the winners of the H20 games! The interact club hosted this competition today as a final fundraiser for their annual Wolfson Water Project. This year the group made a goal to raise $1000 for the Unoa Primary School in Kenya. The funds will be used to construct latrines which will make it possible for girls to attend school. The group is only $80 short of their fundraising goal! If you would like to help them meet their goal to support the students in Kenya, you can find details at https://www.h2oforlifeschools.org/donate?campaign=2343
This evening was the second annual Art Gala, an evening of music and appreciation of the visual arts, hosted by our fine arts department. This is a unique experience for our student artists to have their work on display in a gallery setting, and a great way to celebrate an outstanding year of art at Wolfson.
Seniors from our Interact Club visited Kings Trail Elementary this week to hand out crocheted buddies to Kindergarten students. This project was led by Addison Gomez, who was the director of the crochet for a cause project under Interact. The students at Kings Trail colored in pictures of their desired buddy early in the school year, and our team of crocheters made each of them a buddy to have as they complete kindergarten. This is such a fun project led by a very talented group of Wolfson seniors. Way to go PACK!
