The Wolftrap PTA is currently accepting nominations for two positions that will be open as of July 1 for the 2026-27 school year:

Each position serves a two-year term, so you must have two years remaining at Wolftrap.

  • Monthly meeting with Board and Administration.
  • Attend PTA meetings (One each month, during the school year).
  • Other miscellaneous duties, including supporting committee chairs, coordinating fundraising efforts, and other support as needed.

Nominations will be presented at the April General PTA Meeting, and the election will occur in May, at the last General PTA Meeting of the year.

FOOD FOR OTHERS!

We NEED YOUR HELP! Food for Others still has many dates open for volunteers to help! Please consider signing up here!

It only takes about an hour and makes a HUGE impact in our community.

The wonderful Wolftrap community has been collecting food for Food For Others, a nonprofit that collects food and donates it to the local community in need. 

We need volunteers to pick up the food from the PTA closet on Fridays between 2:00-3:00 p.m. and drop off at the Loading Dock at the Food For Others warehouse. 

Please see the additional dates through the end of the school year.  Please note March 27 and June 17 are half days.

The food is located in the refrigerator of the PTA Closet (in the cafeteria) and will need to be put in the cooler and bags and brought to your car and dropped off at: 2938 Prosperity Ave., Fairfax VA.  

The cooler would need to be returned to the PTA Closet by 10:30 a.m. on Mondays to help collect for the following week.

Please contact Michelle Scalise at (917) 499-4419 or mzscalise@gmail.com with any questions.
