I want to celebrate the work of our students who entered the PTA Reflections competition last fall.  Two of our students were recognized at the state competition. Congratulations to Naomi Sloan who won gold for her Literature submission, Something Amazing, and Sophie Martin won silver for her Film Production submission, The Play Date! Best of luck to Naomi whose submission will go on to compete at the national level.  

This week we have spring picture day on Wednesday, many after school activities including Wilmot Warblers, Destination Imagination, Robotics/STEM clubs, and chess club, as well as report cards coming home on Friday. You can check out the Wilmot Weekly to learn more about the many enrichment opportunities at Wilmot and how to get your child involved.

I have some really exciting news to share about a new joint project between Evergreen Parks and Rec and Jeffco Open Space! They will be creating a new parking area and developing grass fields at Wilmot before school starts in the fall! There is a picture of the project if you scroll down in the Wilmot Weekly. The first phase of the plan is to create parking where the current upper grass field is located. At some point over the next few weeks, they will block off the softball fields and put rock down on the upper field to create parking. They also plan to level and put rock down in the garden lot to minimize the mud. Once the parking is established, they will begin work on installing the grass on the current softball field. I am so excited about the prospect of having grass for our kids to play on at recess instead of dirt and having additional field space for youth sports in our community will be wonderful as well!  

Lastly, like many of our neighboring schools, we are still in outbreak status for the flu. Please do not send your child to school if they are experiencing or have experienced a fever, headache, cough, vomiting or diarrhea in the past 24 hours. We are hoping that with your support, we can keep as many germs as possible out of the building and allow students and staff to get healthy again!  If you have questions about How Sick is too Sick? please scroll down to the flyer in the Weekly.   

Thank you for being a part of the Wilmot Wildcats family! I look forward to seeing you at school this week!

The Lab Card Program supports tuition assistance to ensure every sixth-grade student, regardless of financial capacity, can attend Outdoor Lab. To join the program, you simply need to link your King Sooper’s shopper’s card to the Outdoor Lab Foundation through the King Soopers Community Rewards Program. Visit the Foundation's website to find instructions. It takes about 3 minutes.

Once enrolled, any purchase moving forward with your Shopper’s Card will allocate a portion of King Soopers’s annual donation to the Outdoor Lab Foundation. The more people participating on behalf of the Outdoor Lab Foundation, the more money they can provide in tuition assistance to our students.

This is not only important for our families so that they can offset or eliminate a financial burden, but it is also important to your colleagues. This money can be used for various purposes such as booking engaging evening presenters for the students, paying for a sub day for lead teacher Outdoor Lab planning, buying supplies, etc.

Please take a few minutes to enroll yourself in the Lab Card Program and spread the word!
