PTO Ongoings

The PTO has been busy with the start of the school year and want to share how our fund raising is being spent on your children. Our focus is threefold - school assemblies (including author visits), teacher’s wish lists, and a few value-adds for the school such as a new playground fund, recess equipment, and trying to find a new storage solution which would greatly benefit all Wilson Staff. More to come on each of these aspects as the year goes on.

We thank you again for your continued support and donations! We are working hard on leaving a mark on Wilson so the class of ‘26-‘27 will be remembered for years to come :)

Stock the staff room

Thank you to all those who volunteered for our first round of Stock the Staff Room!

The link typically goes out during the first week of each month, and all items can be dropped off next week or shipped to the school. We will send out the link and instructions the first week of November for the next round.

FALL FESTIVAL

The Fall Festival will take place this weekend! Tickets are still available for purchase, and we look forward to seeing you there!
