Weekly Wolf Update - May 12-16, 2025

Posted Date: 5/11/25 (6:00 PM)

💚🐾 One Kickball Game, Countless Memories 🐾💚

Last week’s 1st Annual 8th Grade vs. Staff Kickball Game was more than just a fun afternoon—it was a moment that brought over 275 students and 40 staff members together in laughter, connection, and school spirit. It gave our 8th graders a chance to feel seen and celebrated—and reminded us all how powerful a simple game can be. The younger Wolves are already counting down the years until it’s their turn!

It only takes one moment to remind us: Together We Can make a lasting impact. 🐺💚

As we enter our final full week of school, here are a few important reminders for our Wolf Pack families:

📌 Minimum Days – Tuesday and Wednesday are minimum days. Please plan accordingly for early dismissal.

📌 STEAM Live – This Wednesday!

– Please be sure to sign up for STEAM Live with each of your child’s teachers so you don’t miss out!

– Our enrichment classrooms will be open from 3:00–6:00 PM, so feel free to visit them before or after your child’s classroom time slots.

We’re looking forward to a night of celebration, creativity, and hands-on fun at STEAM Live—a time for our Wolves to shine and show just what’s possible when families and schools come together. 🐾🔬🎨

📚 Yearbooks Have Arrived!

– Yearbooks will be passed out to students on Tuesday.

– Haven’t ordered one yet? It’s not too late!

🌈 Color Face Off – This Thursday!

We’re ending the week with a splash of spirit! Each grade level has a designated color, and students are encouraged to show their Pack pride by dressing in their grade’s color from head to toe. Let’s see which grade brings the most color and energy to campus! 🐾🎉

💚 Thank you for showering our staff with love during Staff Appreciation Week. Your kind gestures, notes, and surprises made our team feel truly valued—and reminded them why our pack is unlike any other. 🐺💚

Let’s finish strong and enjoy these final moments together—with pride, with joy, and with that unstoppable ASA spirit.

Together We Can.

-Mrs Valenta
