Welcome Back from Spring Break!
Parents and community members,
The Wilder School District was notified of school districts in the Treasure Valley that had received threats via phone calls. The Wilder School District DID NOT receive any threatening phone calls. We collaboratively worked with the Wilder Police Department and provided an additional presence in and around each building as a precaution. For additional information please see the Wilder Police Department Facebook post.
We are seeing an increase in illnesses, including Covid-19, in our district. If your child is not feeling well please keep them home and notify your school. Contact us if you need a Covid-19 test. We can provide them for you free of charge.
The Wilder Elementary Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) will meet tonight at 6 pm in the Elementary library to plan our next Family Night.
Want to help? Join us tonight!
Football Banquet:
The football team held their Banquet on November 10th and the turnout was outstanding. The celebration of the hard work the football boys put in turned out to be a great night as always. With over a 100 in attendance, one thousand wings, fifteen pizzas, and various salads, pastas, veggie trays, desserts all contributed to the memorable event. Parents and families were more than helpful with the setup, planning, and cleanup. Thank You!! After the award ceremony the boys all signed posters for all the seniors that they received on senior night. Perfect way to thank our seniors for their service over the years. A great idea by team mom Veronica Moreno who was a huge part of senior celebrations this year as well as the banquet. Thank you to the seniors of the 2022 season: Santiago DeLaCruz, Raul Luna, Cristian Cuellar, Felix Lopez, Isaiah Lopez, Francisco Cortez, Lucas WIllis, and Adrian Cisneros.
