ORDER THE 2025-26 YEARBOOK TODAY!

Wolftrap's official 2025-2026 Yearbook is now on sale through April 8th!  Order via MySchoolBucks. For those new to the platform, you will have to create an account, which will link to your student(s) and let you access the Wolftrap School Store to place an order. (Click on store home. You may see a past order date, if it is from 2025, it was last school year's order.) 

Yearbooks will be distributed by the school at the end of the school year. April 8th is an absolute deadline. 

Please also continue to send any pictures to yearbook@wolftrappta.org. We are still in need of pictures from all grades and events. 


THE TALENT SHOW UPDATE

The Wolftrap Elementary School Talent Show is back, and we'd love to see your kids shine at this free (non-competitive) celebration of creativity and skill!

Join us Friday, February 13th, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Marshall High School for an evening that's all about fun, community, and cheering each other on. Past acts have included everything from piano players, bands, singers, dancers (solo and teams), lip-syncers, skits, magic acts, and even wrestling demonstrations; our students never fail to amaze!

PLEASE SHARE THIS FORM: You do not have to be part of the PTA for your kids to be in the show! Please share this information with any parent of a WES student if they have interest! Acts are 2 minutes or less, and performers should plan to bring any props they need (a baby grand piano and mics will be available). Sign Up is active and will stay open until the last week of January!

PLEASE HELP: We're also looking for parent volunteers (are you really good at organizing the flow of a mixed tape style playlist? Have I got a job for you! Also help walking the kids up and getting them excited!). If you're part of Watch Dogs and want to do an act, let us know!!

6TH GRADERS AND PARENTS THEREOF: If you are (or have a) 6th grader who wants to participate, email us and we will put you in touch with the coordinator!

For more information on the talent show, email talentshow@wolftrappta.org
