Giving Tuesday...
Thank you for all of your support already this school year. As I mentioned previously, with all the provisions and restrictions this year for our current state of affairs I felt it best to keep everyone safe, as much fun as it is to shop and provide for our families in need this holiday season this way I see best -
For safety reasons, I have decided to just do a gift card drive this year rather than shop for specific wish list items. We would like to offer each family at least grocery gift card and store gift cards for the family (which includes all children under the age of 18) gift cards of their choosing. I sent out a form asking what type of gift cards the parents would like to have to shop for their family. You are always welcome, if you wish, to purchase an item for families as well, I am not discouraging this, but making the best effort to keep everyone healthy.
Below is the link to the WAXPOOL ES Sign-Up Genius. If you are able to help, please take a look at the requests. I have broken down the requests by family numbers.
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0b45a5aa28a1fb6-waxpool2
***Please as in the past list your family number on your gift item.***
There are several ways we can handle delivery of the gift cards:
You are welcome to send them direct to me: 19060 Arroyo Ter Leesburg, VA 20176
You are welcome to either Venmo or Paypal the amount you wish, and I will happily go purchase the gift card. Please reach out to me for my Venmo or Paypal information.
You are welcome to drop items off direct to my home.
If need be, I can pick up items direct from you with no person to person direct contact.
**Please have items in no later than Wednesday, December 16th**
**Gift Cards may be any domination you wish to donate**
Please contact me if you have any questions my email - [email protected] or on my Cell Ph 714-768-5070 (text message is best)
This will be sent out to our school Neighborhood Needs Network via email, Sign-Up Genius and posted on all of the neighborhood social media platforms, so you will probably be seeing it a lot in the coming days.
Please let me know if you have any questions. And thank you again so much for your ongoing support.
We also have November's PTA Meeting that same evening.

We are weeks away from the kick off of 2023/2024 school year. Make sure you stop by the PTA table on 8/22 during Open House or Back to School night. We have two new spirit wear designs dropping!

Congrats Vihaan!!
Congratulations to Vihaan Kshetrapal from Waxpool Elementary School for being selected as the August 2023 D.A.R.E. contest winner.
Each year, the LCSO selects 13 drawings from over 6,400 submissions. The drawings are created during the school year as part of the D.A.R.E. program.
The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) is celebrating its 35th year of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program in Loudoun County Public Schools this school year. Since 1987, D.A.R.E. has been taught to fifth-grade students by specially trained LCSO deputies, and in 2012, the program was expanded to middle schools.

Thank you to all the volunteers, families, teachers and staff who made the graduation ceremony and the last day of school extra special for our Waxpool Fifth Graders 2022-2023 (Class of 2030). It was an emotional rollercoaster filled with words of wisdom, laughs, anticipation, and tears of joy for what we leave behind and the amazing adventure that lies ahead. One thing is for sure, we are proud to be forever part of this incredible Waxpool Elementary School family!!! 🥰🎉💐🎈

🎶Oh what a night 🎶 We thank the Waxpool families who came out to join us for the first ever Piranha Dance. It was so fun to see the kids dancing to the tunes of DJ Frostbite and singing their hearts out. A great time was had by all!!! 🥳💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻
We couldn’t capture pictures of everyone, so please feel free to share your favorite picture from the evening in the comments. We love seeing all the smiling faces!

A heads up for those attending the Piranha Dance tomorrow. Make a note of the road closure and plan an alternative route.
While the plan will not impact daily school traffic (hopefully), it may impact those attending the Piranha Dance tomorrow evening. See below 👇
A Message From Loudoun County DOT:
As you may have seen on our Project Message Boards located at the ends of the project and at the intersection of Waxpool Road and Black Angus Drive, we will be activating a weekend closure of Waxpool Road just passed the Black Angus Drive intersection starting this Friday Night (5/19/2023) at 8 PM and running through Sunday, 5/21/2023. This closure allows us to rebuild the intersection to raise it up to its final design elevation for the improved Belmont Ridge Road.
We do not anticipate any operational impacts to your Waxpool Elementary School.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms in our community. You rock!!! 💐
