The BIG event you’ve all been waiting for is just days away: that’s right, Wolftrap Under the Stars is Friday, September 9th from 5:00 - 7:00 PM on the field behind the school and according to local weather forecasters it looks like it’s going to be a beautiful evening! 

 

Bring a picnic blanket or folding chair to sit on, but there is so much to do, you may just use it as a meeting place for your crew. On that note, gentle reminder: parents are expected to be present to supervise their children (or at least a parent with a group). Students are not to be dropped off without an adult who is responsible for their group. 

 

We are grateful to our primary sponsor Ghaffari Orthodontics for their help in making this event extra special for all of you! Here is a bunch of information to help with all things “Wolftrap Under the Stars”:
