Beginning of 2020 has been busy for WPTC

The beginning of 2020 has been busy with many fun activities sponsored by the WPTC.

In addition, we are working on all of the activities for the remaining of the school year as well!

Thank you to those that were able to attend our first meeting of 2020.

Our next scheduled meeting will be in May. Stay tuned for details about that meeting, as we will start preparing for the 2020/2021 school year.

January, all the kids had a popcorn day. Thank you to all of our volunteers that help popping all day!

February was quite a busy month. We had a great turn out for our Family Game night at WPS. All the families had an opportunity to spend some quality time together playing various different games set up in the gym.

Thanks to all of those that participated in our second Flying High Night fundraiser. The kids had a great time!

We also had our last classroom parties at WPS and WIS for Valentine’s Day. The kids had a wonderful time playing games and making their crafts. The WPTC would like to give a BIG THANK YOU to all of the parents who volunteered as the lead parents and room parents for all of the classes. As well as all of the other volunteers, that helped with all of our parties. These parties would not be able to happen without the volunteers.

The middle school also had a Valentine Dance after school. There was good music and lots of dancing!

Finally, the WPS students were able to have a fun day at the Seuss Celebration. Students enjoyed games and prizes including 60 Seuss books we were able to send home with students!

At WPS, our Spring Book Fair will be March 31st thru April 2nd. During this time, we will have our annual Mom and Muffins morning on Thursday, April 2nd.

Our upcoming restaurant fundraisers for March are Chipotle on March 9th and Giordano’s on March 31st. Take a break from cooking and help support the WPTC so that we can continue to provide all of these fun events for the kids.

Please continue to check our Website for Updates www.Wptc.membershiptoolkit.com

Our Facebook page is also useful to stay up to date with us. You are always welcome to contact any of the WPTC Board members at wptc925@gmail.com with any questions, concerns or feedback that you may have.
