Yearbook Help Needed

At this point, we do not have any volunteers to put together our yearbook for the 2018-19 school year. We CANNOT do this without help. We need a team of 3-5 people who can manage order forms and work with our administration team to collect candid and group pictures to drop into Strawbridge's EASY online tool to put together our yearbook. These jobs can primarily be done from home - no PTA meetings required;)

PLEASE email Amy Thomas ASAP at wesgtpta@gmail.com if you can help with this. Our kids love this memento of their time at Washington.

PTA Back to School Packet

The new school year is well underway, and the PTA Board is working hard to ensure that this will be another great year for our WES community. Whether it's your first kindergartener coming to Washington this year, or your fifth fifth-grader, we need your help to help achieve that goal.

Please take a look at the PTA's Back to School packet which contains some great information about how we can all work together to make this year great. It includes information about signing up or renewing your PTA membership, PTA Fundraising, a calendar of school events, a parent survey, and a volunteer interest form. Take a look, and please let us know if you have any questions.
