Our theme this year is Building the Future, and that is truly what we do every day at Wallace. We build students who are confident, creative, peace-makers, and contributors. We create LEADERS!

Just as construction can be a challenging job where you leave work sore and a bit dirty – so is teaching. But the results we produce are far more valuable than any architectural project because we are raising the future of our country.

We are so glad you will be joining us in the trenches this year as we work together to build our masterpieces ... our students!

Wallace vs. Lake Highlands Softball Game

Come out to cheer for our Wallace teachers and staff as they take on Lake Highlands Elementary on Thursday, September 20 at 6 p.m. at Wildcat Field. The concession stand will be open and proceeds will benefit the 6th grade graduation fund. This is an event you and your family will NOT want to miss! And be sure to get your baseball cards (3 for $1) before and after school this week. Go Wolverines!

Technology Update

This year, each class will have a set of iPads for all students to use. We will only use the iPads when they enhance learning because we consider them to be learning tools. We look forward to having students collaborate, create, and express their thinking via technology. Find out more about student use of iPads.

Local School Council

We are looking for parents and community members to join us for Local School Council. This committee is an advisory council for the administrators, and the team meets on 3 Tuesdays per year from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. If you are interested in being an active participant, please email Mr. P. Our first meeting will be September 25 from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in the Wallace Library.
