No Frills Fundraiser Co-Chairs – No Frills is our biggest fundraiser for WMS PTA. However, we don’t ask for much work! We don’t ask our families to buy or sell things. We only ask that they make a donation (or donations) to the WMS PTA. These chairs typically do an e-blast campaign in the beginning of the school year and then again in the Spring (if needed). Past incentives for the campaign have been donut parties for the winning TA classrooms, but anyone willing to step up can make this campaign whatever they think will work best for our school.
School Supplies – We work with Sprout to provide our families with the option to pre-order school supply kits for the school year. This person needs to be the liaison with Sprout and WMS. In the spring, they reach out to the WMS admin team about creating the list of what’s needed per grade for the upcoming year. Then they work with Sprout to get those lists in their system. Ordering typically goes from after Spring Break until mid-July. It’s all online and automated. Then this person arranges for delivery day at the school for distribution. Sara (previous chair, and has aged out of WMS) is willing to train/shadow you as you learn!
6th Grade Activities Chairs – This can be two or three people that are willing to manage events for the 6th grade. There are typically two—one on the fall, and one in the spring. These chairs manage those events and recruit volunteers, food donations, etc., as needed.
Reflections Contest – The Reflections Contest is run by the National PTA. Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life. This person is the liaison between the school and the Reflections team.
We know you’d love to help our school! Positions can be shared. Please consider volunteering!
