What an amazing week this was for all of the Wildwood students. They got to participate in their first ever field day and it was a great success and a ton of fun. Without a doubt, the students favorite station was the ice cream truck.
Wildwood Staff would like to wish everyone a safe and fun holiday weekend and we look forward to the students returning on Tuesday May 28, 2024. Please enjoy this week's issue of the Wildwood Weekly.
Students in the Life Skills enrichment groups learned about Philanthropy. They used their time and talents to make a treasure for someone feeling grief. Through the Hearts of Hope program, students made a card of caring and hand painted a ceramic heart. The mission of Hearts of Hope is to help people grieving loss and tragedy find hope so they can find meaning and grow. Our students projects will be donated to Angela’s Hospice in Livonia.
There will be some changes to the parking lot to help with SAFETY and efficiency! The changes include:
- 4 fifth grade safeties will be on the curb helping open car doors.
- Crossing guards will cross students near the front doors and first grade entrance.
Please use PATIENCE and CAUTION in our parking lot, the safety of our students is our number one priority!
