Little Chili Family Fun Night at the Russian Embassy

This year, we will gather on March 12, 2010, from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. at the Russian Embassy for a Little Chili Family Fun Night. We’ll have games for the kids, a small auction, and—of course—chili to eat. Auction items will include classroom art projects, teacher outings, and a limited number of “big ticket items” like our annual wine table. Why a Little Chili rather than our usual Big Chili? During this transition year we don’t want to compete with our Brick campaign, but we do want to celebrate our community.

It’s T-Ball Time!

We are currently signing up five- and six-year-olds for the Spring 2010 T-ball season. Games and practices occur at Volta Park, Palisades Park, or Rose Park. Go to http://nwlldc.org to learn more.

September 26 | Message from Dr. Cuthbert

Hi Everyone,
Hope you had a good week. It was a busy week for the Stoddert Wolves. The students were busy with different projects and many were taking baseline assessments. We practiced a fire drill and then had another authentic fire drill practice when a microwave set off the fire alarm. It was good to know [...]
