END OF YEAR LIBRARY REMINDERS
Hi Parents! The library is closing down for its end of year inventory. All the library books that are checked out, or payments that need to be made for lost or damaged books, are due this week. Please help your child find their books and put them into their backpacks. Our goal is to have 100% of the books returned this week!

DONATE TO GRIZZLY GROWTH FUND!
We are 95% to our annual goal - so close! Please help us reach 100%! We have many ways to make it easy for you to donate and EVERY dollar counts! We encourage you to share with friends, family, grandparents, aunts and uncles who might like to get involved and support our amazing Grizzlies.
The Willow Grove Educational Foundation supports essential programs at our school such as PE, Kindergarten and Grade-Level Impact Teachers, and Library Development. A donation to the WGEF is a great way to ensure that programs like The Grizzly Gazette, Math Olympiad and Odyssey of the Mind receive the ongoing support that they need.
Speaking of Odyssey of the Mind, a big shoutout to our Willow Grove 2nd-4th grade team on being advanced to the Worlds Tournament this May, where they will be competing with 6,000 other students! Odyssey of the Mind is a WGEF supported program and wouldn’t exist without the generosity of our amazing community. Help this team raise the funds needed to get them to the tournament by donating to their GoFundMe HERE.
