From the Principal's Desk

Dear Wharton Families,

I hope you stayed warm and safe during the wintery weather conditions. 

I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the American Heart Association's Kids Heart Challenge. Thanks to your help, our school raised $6,700 for the American Heart Association and earned money toward PE equipment. We appreciate your support.

We're still looking for volunteers to help during morning drop-off, lunch, and dismissal. We don't have the necessary staff to cover these tasks and could use your help. Please reach out to Nurse Dana or Ms. Elssy Cazares if you're interested. You must be registered with VIPS prior to starting your assignment.

Please remember that the school office hours are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. We kindly ask that you drop off any items or check lost and found during these hours or at 5:30 PM (during after-school pick-up only). 

Have a good weekend!

Jennifer Day
