Dear Western Avenue School families,
On behalf of the PTO, we would like to welcome back all returning Western families and extend a very warm greeting to those who are joining us for the first time! We are looking forward to another exciting school year! The PTO would also like to thank the wonderful WAS families and staff that generously give their talent, energy, and effort to make our school great. We invite all of you to look at what the PTO has to offer and get involved if you can!
The PTO is a group of committed parent volunteers that sponsor a variety of school committees, some designed to raise money (for such things as enrichment programs, classroom needs, and field trips) and others designed to enhance your child’s learning experience. Both are essential in making Western Avenue School a very special place for our children to learn and grow.
The PTO generates income from our Fall Clothing Sale and Spring Duck, Duck Golf fundraisers creating many volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Please see the “committees” tab on the left to learn about the different options for participation within the school. If you would like to join one of our many committees, please use our Signup Genius Link, any time after 10:00 A.M. Friday September 5th.
The PTO meets bi-monthly on Tuesdays at 7pm. All meetings will be held in the LMC(Library). A WAS Connects reminder will be sent out the day of the meeting. The agenda is published in the Western Weekly the week before and the minutes will be posted to this page after the meeting. Meetings are the best way to learn what’s new and have your voice heard. Parents are encouraged to join!
Please contact the PTO if you would like more information about anything at all!
