General Wolfe Elementary was built in 1910. One of Wolfe's claims to fame is the boy in "Wait for Me, Daddy" photograph (of a boy reaching out towards his father in a line for war). This photo is internationally recognized, and the boy went to school at Wolfe. In 1912, two additional wings were added due to expanding population. Then in 1920 two wooden temporary buildings were built. These two buildings are still the annex and the gym today. General Wolfe used to have three portables which were used as classrooms, but when attendance dropped some in 2007, they were all eventually taken away. General Wolfe Elementary was named after General James Wolfe. During 2020-2021 there were significant upgrades to the school called the seismic upgrades. The purpose of this was to make the schools walls stronger in the event of an earthquake. While the upgrades were being done the student and staff had to be relocated to a school called "South Hill Education Center" however it is often shortened to "South Hill".[3][4]
Fundraisersedit
Traditionally, the school holds an annual "Walk-A-Thon," in which students walk, or jog laps around the school to receive prizes, to raise funds. In the 2005–2006 school year, this was cancelled for an unknown reason.
General Wolfe Elementary Held a silent auction at the beginning of each year. Unfortunately, because of COVID-19 and the leadership change, Wolfe no longer holds a silent auction. The Student Council and the PAC (Parent Advisory Council) come up with more fundraisers each year and what to buy with the money produced.
Code of Conductedit
PAWS is the schools code of conduct.
P - Polite
A - Accountable
W - Welcoming
S - Safe
The school has a song which is made to demonstrate the use of the code of conduct.
In General Wolfe the school is divided into 16 classes each having its own assigned division number. The higher the number is the younger the students in the class are however there are some cases with split classes that lead to a division that is lower having younger students than a higher division.
