We have lots of exciting updates to share as we head into September!
Labor Day Weekend:
In honor of Labor Day, school will be closed on Monday, September 1st. We wish all of our families a restful and delightful three-day weekend together.
Picture Day is Friday, September 5th.
All students will be taking both individual and class photos. Parents will be able to view and purchase pictures online using a special code that will be sent home—so keep an eye out!
PTO Membership Drive:
Hooray for all the families who have already joined! Your membership makes a huge difference by funding field trips, assemblies, and programs like AR and IXL. Our goal is to continue to raise enough to give $25 per student toward field trips this year! Plus, membership comes with some fun perks like your child’s chance to join in on Splash the Staff, where students get to throw water balloons at their teachers (I can confirm from last year that a change of clothes is highly recommended!).
Odyssey of the Mind:
Don’t miss our Wickman-specific informational meeting! This program sparks creativity and problem-solving, encouraging students to think big and outside the box. After all, popsicles were invented by a 9-year-old. Maybe the next great invention will come from one of our very own Wickman kids!
Musical Theater:
Lights, Camera, Action! All interested in auditioning for our School Musical are encouraged to attend our mandatory information meeting on 9/10/25 in our MPR from 2:30-3:30PM.
We’re looking forward to another month of learning, laughter, and community. Thank you, as always, for your support and partnership!
With appreciation,
Emily Lao
