Pages with the Pack 2023 is a wrap, and our WWE community came together to read over 430,000 minutes and collect more than $43,500!
On behalf of Ms. Katsampes, Ms. Duncan, WWE’s incredible teachers and staff, students and PTSA, we would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone that participated in helping WWE surpass its goals! Funds raised this year will go towards completing the STEM room, supporting teachers with supplemental math supplies, and to our community. WWE students once again read more minutes than Fairmount Elementary, which means WWE keeps the traveling trophy for another year and students have earned a school-wide popsicle party.
On Friday, all students had a CRAZY HAIR Day with an assembly to see Ms. Katsampes and Ms. Duncan kiss a donkey and get SLIMED by WWE’s top readers and top fundraisers.
Thank you to our PWTP sponsors that donated wonderful prizes, including Hops & Pie Pizza, Berkeley Donuts, Jeremiah’s Italian Ice, Chipper’s Lanes Entertainment, Skate City,

Ms. Katsampes and Ms. Duncan made good on their promise for PWTP by having a crazy hair day, kissing an alpaca, and hitting the ‘bobsled’ hill for the Olympic sport in getting doused in all sorts of silly stuff, including slime! Our Wolves also read more minutes than Fairmount Elementary's students
and won the ‘traveling’ trophy.
