Thank you Pioneer Run Volunteers
We’re thrilled to share that our Pioneer Glow Run was a fantastic success, and a lot of that is due to our amazing volunteers! These volunteers helped with preparing decorations, delivering prizes, counting glow sticks, and then transforming the gym the night before. Your hard work made such a difference.
On run day, we also had wonderful volunteers that ensured every grade level had a blast! Thank you for your time, energy, and enthusiasm—you truly made this event special. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Lost and Found - Fall Semester
The PTA has been hard at work organizing the pile of items in the lost and found. Items have been tagged and photos uploaded to both our Facebook page and to a Google drive folder.
Please take a look and if you see an item that belongs to your child, comment on the photo with the item number, student’s name, and teacher’s name (for Facebook) or email the information to us at president@wolfranchpta.org (if browsing the photos in Google drive).
Approximately 15 items are added daily to the pile, so please continue to check back.
Please remember to label your child’s belongings so that we can quickly identify and return. If you are hesitant to write on the tags, consider ordering name labels from Name Bubbles. The PTA will receive 20% of each purchase made through our unique link or fundraising code (6736323).
Any items that are unclaimed by Friday, December 16 will be donated.
Veterans Day Breakfast
The school welcomed over 40 Veterans to campus for Veterans Day. The PTA hosted a breakfast for the Veterans and their student(s). Thank you to Phil Monday of Monday Realty Group, Sam’s Club Round Rock, and Starbucks Wolf Ranch Town Center for partnering with us to provide breakfast and the VFW - Post 8587 for the Buddy Poppy flowers for the Veterans!
Following breakfast, students in the 5th grade led the attendees in the Pledge of Allegiance and National Anthem and then performed a selection of patriotic songs. Mr. Donnell honored the Veterans individually as he recognized each military branch and respective Veterans in attendance. The program concluded with a school-wide parade with each grade level waving flags, holding banners, and wearing festive attire to show appreciation to our WRE community Veterans.
The PTA would like to thank all Veterans for their service!
PTA Meeting: November 30
Storybook Pumpkin Decorating Contest Winners
We received over 75 entries for our Storybook Pumpkin Decorating Contest! Due to the amount received, we altered the judging process a bit. A group of 10 staff members voted on their top three pumpkins per grade level. The top 3-5 scoring pumpkins were then shown to the grade-level students for their vote.
First, second, and third place winners received a small treat bag, a ribbon, and certificate. Thank you to Sonic Drive-In for donating a free ice cream cone coupon to the treat bags! First place winners also received a $15 gift certificate for the Book Fair next week.
Thank you to all those who participated! All the pumpkins were great and showed off the talent and creativity of our Pioneers!
