The flyer is attached. Share the flyer with friends and family!

The ‘Tis the Season Celebration with Santa will be Friday, December 13 from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Watch for information about this festive event to go home this week. Response forms are due by December 6.

To help make your holiday shopping a bit easier, PTA has put together “Wish Stockings” for all the teachers at Wilson!  The “Wish Stockings” will be hung in the main entrance of the school beginning December 2. Each teacher will have their own “Wish Stocking” filled with ideas of items they need and/or want for their classroom! If you find something from that stocking that you would like to purchase for your child’s teacher this holiday season, simply take that “wish” out of the stocking and you are ready to shop! Feel free to take as many “wishes” as you would like. And don’t forget Wilson’s specialist teachers, they do a lot for our kids too!  We hope this will take some of the stress out of your holiday shopping this season!

Thank you and we hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving!
