Christmas Present Idea's for Teachers

If you need idea's for a present to give to your child's teacher for Christmas, here are a few:

Sanitizing Gel
Kleenex
Clorox Sanitizing Wipes
Pencils
Large pink erasers

The supplies teachers are given at first of the year don't include most of these supplies and they run out of pencils and erasers early!





Friday, November 8, 2013

The teacher's at Wilson Elementary are in need of Parent Volunteer's. If you could make time for just one hour a week your child's teacher would welcome it.  Other teacher's welcome help like our Kindergarten teachers!   Grandparents and other families member's are welcome to volunteer too!

Come help our overworked and underpaid teachers!!

Message from our PTO Pres.

What an exciting year we have already had! With all of the energized new parents joining us at Wilson,
as well as amazing returning PTO participants this year is off to an incredibly smooth start. Thank you to
everyone supporting the fundraiser, especially those that are helping out with volunteering time.
Our PTO Meetings are set for the second Thursday of the
 month starting Sept 12. They are not to be missed!
And back by popular demand, refreshments will be served 
at every meeting. Many times we have parents ask if
they come to a meeting, or say they want to join the PTO will they be committing to hours and hours of work -
The Answer is a resounding NO! The Wilson PTO is set up for ANYONE to participate, (dads, grand parents, etc)
at WHATEVER level they want to. We love parents being involved, 
and so do your kids!
Can't make it to a meeting? No PROBLEM! Fill out a volunteer form and let us know what works for you!
So get involved ñ WE welcome EVERYONEñ
Canít wait to see you soon,
GG Anderson -
PTO President
