🐾 HEY HEY, WILDCATS! 🐾

LOOK WHAT WE DID! 🎉🙌

You can give yourself a BIG pat on the back because YOU helped make this happen! Every donation, purchase, fundraiser, and bit of support from our Wildcat families helped us reach our goal and get this project completed just in time for our 20-Year Anniversary celebration! 🥳

Our school is looking FRESH, UPDATED, and ready to celebrate 20 amazing years! 🎉🏫✨

We couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for continuing to support Velasquez Elementary and making a difference for our Wildcats! 🐾❤️

20 years down… and we’re just getting started! 🎉

Our final update for the year is complete! Thank you to our amazing PTO for helping bring our ideas to life and continuing to help make Velasquez a place all of our Wildcats are proud to call home! 🐾❤️📚🎉
