Hot days ahead! Due to the extreme heat we are experiencing, over the course of this week, we will be eating lunch and having lunch recess indoors. All after school activities will also be held indoors. This will continue for the remainder of the week, or until it cools down. Morning recess will still be held outside. Remind your kids to keep hydrated.
We are continuing with our Wednesday weekly PCR testing. If you have not yet signed up your child, please do so through the portal or pick up a hard copy and fill it out in the office. Covid cases are still showing up, and we are doing our best to make sure everyone stays as healthy as possible while on campus.
5th Grade "Quick Write"
As I walk in the Ukrainian meadows with my dog Posey we see beautiful blue and yellow flowers dancing in the wind, for this is Ukraine. All of the Ukrainian people were freed, it was a joyous time. Everyone crowded around me and Posey, and we sat down and listened to peace. The birds sang for peace, the crikets chirped for peace, and the chipmunks skweaked for peace. After, everyone in the meadows ran down to their city and danced, for the Russians were gone, the war was gone, the war was dead.

Over the past couple of years, Wildflower's Eco Club has prepped, planted and cared for a Monarch recovery garden. Milkweed, essential to the Monarch butterfly, is currently dormant waiting for spring to show itself, and eventually bloom to attract them in the warm summer months. Heather, one of our eco club volunteers, put together this educational video with a couple of Wildflower students which features the story of Monarchs and the Wildflower Monarch Recovery Garden.

Thank you Odyssey Teams for assisting Wildflower in a school-wide virtual mosaic mural project. Each student and staff member had a square to replicate from the original image to create a unique abstract mosaic for everyone to enjoy! The original picture was created by Bonnie Parkin, local artist, art teacher, and founding member of Wildflower Open Classroom. The watercolor was one of our original logos for the school. Thanks again Odyssey Team members, Allison and Jonas for setting this up. And a special thank you to our devoted staff and talented students for creating this amazing piece of art!
Distance learning images from homes around our Wildflower community.
Some heart-warming pictures to brighten your day! Sammie using Zoom with some students, reading in the park, and thinking about some people that might be having a hard time staying home and missing our friends and family. So since it’s “D” week in his Kindergarten class, we thought of a song that started with the letter “D” that might make people happy so we listened to the song, then Trevor was excited to draw a beautiful picture to share with a “happy” message to everyone ❤️
More distance learning pictures for you to peruse!
While everyone is stuck at home, we asked families to send us some pictures of how Wildflower students are managing social distancing, and distance learning. Keep 'em coming, we love seeing the different styles of creative learning!

The Adolescent Program had the culmination of their Heroic Journey program with a Letting Go Ceremony at Bidwell Park's Fire Ring Wednesday evening. Student's brought an object to "give up" that symbolized that they are growing up and letting go of some of their childish ways of thinking. Students, along with their families and adult allies were in attendance for this heroic step towards growing up.
Trauma Training scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 11 (tomorrow), has been POSTPONED until a later date. Sorry for the inconvenience, we will let you know the date as soon as it is rescheduled.
