My goodness, the generosity is astounding. Thank you all so much for all the School Supplies. We are right in the middle of the testing and we were getting down on pencils – this helped immensely. Also we were out of glue sticks and you should have seen the kindergarten teachers’ faces when they found out there was some.
So bless all of your hearts for helping us finish the school year in a great way.
Your generosity does not go unnoticed and in fact in helps our staff and students in turn do for others as well. So thank you so much and again, if anyone is in our areas, your are more than welcome to come visit!

Dear Friends,
I want to thank you for your support of Wolf Creek and all our students with the Easter Supplies. Our Student Council will be putting the Easter things together for the school and then they will pass it out.
What is so cool is you have helped in two ways (well, many more ways than two) 1.) supported and loved on our kids by giving them these items and 2.) letting our older kids put the items together and then give them out will help them build generosity and leadership within our school.
So again, I just want you all to know – it is really appreciated! These students are beautiful and as we know what we put out comes back to us abundantly.
Again, if anybody is in the Pine Ridge area – please stop on in.

Dear Friends of Pine Ridge Reservation:
We have just a little over 800 students now that attend Wolf Creek School. We are the largest elementary school in South Dakota and all our students are from Pine Ridge or the sounding area which means that it is a school in the midst of poverty.
Some of our students could not afford Valentines or candy to bring to their classrooms. Most the time the teachers are supporting these students so it was nice to have the help. All of your generosity was so appreciated. Teachers took items to help the students that needed it and were very grateful as they want to give even when they don’t have extras as well.
We also had a table to have parents/guardians color with their students at our parent/teacher conference last week. Students were excited about taking those colored Valentines home to give to family.
I very much appreciate your support for our school and our beautiful students and their families. Thank you for thinking of us and if any one comes our way you will receive the generosity of the Lakota people that has been in their culture for many generations even if it is just a hug!
Again thank you all!
