The Garden Club welcomed Lowe's to Wright Elementary! Lowe's graciously sponsored Kids Workshop kits for Garden Club members to assemble! Together, Lowe's Kids Workshop Captain, Carlos, of store #2786, parent volunteers, and staff members, guided the Garden Club members as they constructed a kit--either a bird house or a gear-operated lawn mower! The members also earned a badge for assembling their kit!

Lowe's Kids Workshops are FREE to the community! Participants have the opportunity to assemble a kit monthly and work toward earning a toolkit once 12 badges are earned.

Thank you, Lowe's, for supporting Wright Elementary!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Bike Rodeo yesterday! We had a blast seeing you show your stuff on your bikes! A special thank you to the officers and coaches who helped the rodeo be a success!

Exciting Choir Experience: New York Ballet – Nepantla

Our choir had the amazing opportunity to see Nepantla by the New York Ballet! This performance fuses contemporary dance with Mexican folklórico to explore creative ways of understanding cultural and historical “in-between-ness.” One of our students even got to ask the ballerinas and director a question before the show, and the whole choir got to take a photo with the cast and founder!

Our spring book fair is coming up in just a few weeks! Just like in the fall, the book fair will be cashless. You can create an e-wallet by following the QR code on the flyer. Don't forget that you can share this wallet with family and friends if they wish to add to if for your child. This will be available Monday, March 23. I will share which students have an e-wallet with the teachers so that they can visit the fair during the day. Thank you for your continued support and we will see you soon!
