Book Fair

The PTA Scholastic book fair begins with a GRAND EVENT on Saturday October 19th at 8:30 am - 11:30 am continuing October 21, 22 & 23.  Be sure to check out Wilson's Scholastic Book Fair webpage at http://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bookfairs/cptoolkit/publish/wilsonwestallis

The penny war started today!  Send in your loose change to school with your child so their class has an opportunity to win free books at the book fair.  Also, be sure to return your child's completed PTA reading sheets.  If we reach our goal of 460 reading sheets, Mrs. Gottinger will get wrapped like a mummy!

Happy reading!

PTA Updates/Reminders

Wilson PTA has a few reminders for you as we head into this beautiful fall weekend!

 

Have you ordered your Wilson spirit wear yet? Our order closes on September 30 at 5 a.m. so be sure to get your orders in over the weekend! Visit http://www.dunnssportinggoods.net  to order your spirit wear now!

Wilson also earns funds through Market Day sales. You can order via the flyer that gets sent home with your child, or online at http://www.marketday.com/. Just set up an account and have your sales go to Wilson. Your order will be delivered and available for pickup with all other orders. Our next pickup day is October 8, so get your order in soon.

Keep watching your child's folder for information on our Scholastic Book Fair and Penny Wars! The Book Fair will kickoff with the "Grand Event" on Saturday, October 19 and continue October 21-23. Ensure the kids get to "mummify" Mrs. Gottinger by getting their PTA reading sheets turned in. More reading sheets are available either from your child's teacher or in the office.

Box Top collection is coming up soon! Please keep turning in those Box Tops! Each Box Top is worth 10 cents to Wilson, so please help us reach our goal of $2,500! You can turn in Box Tops to your child's teacher or to the collection bin in the office. Also, if you are interested in helping to cut/sort Box Tops for mailing, please send us a reply email and we'll get you set up!

The Costume party is Friday, October 18. Of course, the event will only be successful with your help! Please contact us if you would like to volunteer helping with a game, crafts, kitchen, sales or more!

We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
