Thank you to everyone who came to the Wilson Costume Party on Friday, it was a HUGE success!  And a special thank you to everyone who volunteered at the dance.  We cannot do these events without the support of all our volunteers!  We had a large donation of canned goods that were donated to a local food pantry...THANK YOU to all who donated!  Pictures from the dance will be posted soon!

Don't forget Tuesday is our next PTA restaurant fundraiser at Qdoba on Hwy 100 in West Allis.  Qdoba will donate 10% of your total order to Wilson PTA with the Qdoba flyer that was handed out in your child's folder.  Additional flyers are located in the office.

Attention all 5th graders/parents...if your 5th grade student would like to participate in designing the 5th grade t-shirt please be sure they turn in their drawing to their teacher by Wednesday October 23.  We will not accept any drawings after Wednesday!
