Just a reminder- you received an invite in Tuesday folders last week for our "What are our wolves up to?" parent meeting tomorrow, Tuesday the 22nd, at 6:00 . This will be an opportunity to hear about Westwood and ask any questions or share ideas you may have. Once we finish with all parents, we will meet briefly with 3rd grade parents to talk about the reading score requirements to be promoted to 4th grade. We hope to see many of you- we need your partnership!

Our 5th graders had the opportunity to participate in the U.S. Flag Education Program! 🇺🇸 Students learned about the history of the American and Arkansas flags, the Pledge of Allegiance, flag etiquette, and more. We appreciate this opportunity for our Wolves to learn more about the history and traditions surrounding our nation’s flag! #SpringdaleFamily
