Spring is in the air which means it’s time to garden! The annual Wakefield HS Plant Sale is accepting pre-sale orders through March 31st! Check out the catalog (http://www.wakefieldPTSA.org/plantsale) and order between now and March 31st. Plan to pick up your plants and shop on-site on April 20th.

This is the Wakefield PTSA’s largest fundraiser of the year. All proceeds go directly to Wakefield faculty, staff and students. This effort funds 80% of the PTSA budget so please consider placing an order today so that we may continue to provide our students and faculty with support and enriching opportunities each year!

Come out one and all to join this scenic, flat 5k in the heart of DC near the nation’s Capitol! Runners will receive a Finisher’s Medal, Technical (Drifit) Event Shirt & a Chip Timed Event. Walkers and strollers are welcome.

This run/walk/roll event, sponsored by the nonprofit Alex Manfull Fund (TheAlexmanfullFund.org), aims to raise awareness and fund research on PANS and PANDAS, Post-Infectious Immune-Mediated Neuropsychiatric Disorders. The disease arises from an abnormal immune response following common infections in kids and young adults. Funds raised last year supported cutting-edge research on PANS and PANDAS at academic facilities around the country, including the POND Brain Bank at Georgetown University. Proceeds from this year’s race will help fund the POND Brain Bank and other critical research, education, and clinical care. The event commemorates the life of Alex Manfull who died at age 26 due to PANDAS. Susan and William Manfull, Alex’s parents, established the Fund in their daughter’s name with the vision that no life ever again be cut short — or interrupted — by this disease.

Join us at Art House 7 to discover the charm of charcoal drawing’s simplicity and very forgiving nature. In this two-day workshop coming up this weekend (March 16-17), master artist Teresa Oaxaca will demonstrate her approach to drawing the human portrait in charcoal. Simple paper and vine charcoal will mostly do the trick. We’ll have a model for you to work from. Each day, there will be coffee, tea, and some morning goodies to get you started for the day.

Teresa’s workshops are among our most popular. Here’s one of her many glowing reviews: “Teresa is a great teacher — so talented and generous in sharing her knowledge. She is great at demonstrations and articulating ideas and techniques. The whole experience was better than I could have imagined.”

Registration is now open for Kid, Teen, and Adult Classes this spring!
