WE NEED OUR WILLETT FAMILIES!
Every year, the Willett PTA works hard to fund programs, experiences, and resources that make a difference for our students. These things happen because our Willett families come together to support our school.
Based on our annual PTA expenses, we’re asking each family to consider a suggested donation of $175. If every family contributes $175, we can help cover the cost of the PTA-funded programs and experiences our students enjoy throughout the year.
Can’t give $175? That’s okay!
Every donation makes a difference. Please give whatever amount works for your family. There’s no contribution too small, and every dollar adds up to a BIG impact for Willett students.
And families aren’t the only ones who can help! Grandparents, extended family, friends, and Willett supporters are all welcome to join us in supporting our school.
TOGETHER, WE CAN SUPPORT EVERY WILLETT STUDENT!
Please consider making your PTA donation today.
$175 per family → BIG impact for every student!
Thank you for helping make Willett an amazing place for our kids!

A big THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for our Social Hour at Ruhstaller Farm! 💛
It was so much fun seeing Willett families come together for an afternoon of relaxing, connecting, and enjoying our school community.
The kids had an absolute blast getting muddy, running around, and having tons of fun, while parents had a chance to catch up, meet new friends, and connect with other Willett families. 😊
We love creating opportunities for our Willett community to come together outside of school, and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
Thank you for being part of the Willett community! We can’t wait to see everyone at our next event! 💙

Students can drop off new socks in the laundry baskets located around campus:

900 pairs. One community. One big goal.
Let’s do it, Willett! 🧦💚
For many children and teens, the use of screens mimics patterns of drug addiction, making it difficult for them to be without their devices close at hand. When parents attempt to limit screen use, they may encounter addictive behavior that includes lying, stealing, pleading, threatening and erupting in anger. This PEP Talk will discuss the growing prevalence of screen addictions and strategies parents can use to address these issues and live more harmoniously.
