This week, classes will hold Valentine’s Day activities. To remain consistent with our policy regarding food in the classroom, we strongly recommend that non-food-based treats be considered if your child chooses to give valentines to his or her classmates. If valentines are sent that include candy or pre-packaged treats, those items will be placed in backpacks to be enjoyed at home. Please refer to the Parent Handbook for additional information regarding food in the classroom and thank you for helping keep all students safe.

Program Highlights
Wealthy Wizard Walk
Wealthy Wizard Walk
The Wizard Walk is Wealthy Elementary PTO’s annual and only fundraiser that takes place throughout Gaslight Village in May. Our Wizards are a rainbow of smiles as they walk to support their school and the many programs Wealthy Elementary PTO provides. The success of the past events has enabled the PTO to sponsor many programs, in whole or in part, such as visiting authors, Bright Star Theatre productions, kindergarten chicks, classroom grants, and more!
Mystic Lake Camp
Mystic Lake Camp
Wealthy fifth-grade students start the year with a two-night stay at Mystic Lake in Clare, MI. In addition to experiencing hands-on science lessons, students also bond together through team-building challenges, nature hikes and canoeing, and all the challenges that make up a classic camp adventure. The interpersonal threads that tie together on this trip bind Wealthy fifth graders for the rest of their final year of elementary school, and beyond.
Elementary Musical
Elementary Musical
The elementary musical is a very special opportunity in which every student can be involved! Students in grades K-1 are able to learn a song and dance and perform live on stage at the start of the show. Second graders have the added opportunity to make a cameo appearance. Students in grades 3-5 may showcase their singing and acting skills on stage or work behind the scenes helping with costumes, artwork, setting the stage, lights and sound, directing peers, and more! This is a wonderful opportunity for the entire Wealthy Elementary school community to work and grow together!
Student Leadership Team
Student Leadership
“Making a difference in our school, community, and world.”
Student representatives are elected from grades 3-5 to serve their fellow students in a multitude of student activities. These students plan and execute the Veterans Day assembly, Kids Food Basket sack supper collection, movie night, spirit days for Hearts of Gold and Homecoming, and school supply donations to other schools in the county. We are so proud of these student leaders!
