Opening Remarks

Welcome back, we hope everyone had a restful break!

 

Notable Mentions

  • Spirit Wear - Thank you all for your spirit wear orders! We are hoping to receive  all merchandise before the winter holidays and will distribute orders that were marked as "not a gift" to the children's classrooms noted in the order. For gift orders, our fundraising team will be coordinating a pick-up event before the holidays. Stay tuned -- more to come in an upcoming Whaley Weekly!
  • The Lost and Found is full! Calling all parents and guardians: please stop by the Lost and Found (beside the cafeteria) at dismissal or After Care pick-up between now and Dec 14th to collect your belongings. Any coats and snow pants leftover past that date will be donated to our Winter Coat Drive (all other items will be donated).

 

 

  • Enrichment Happenings! Last week the 4th graders went to the Harvard Natural History Museum! And yesterday, the Acton Discovery Museum Physical Changes of Matter workshop visited our 2nd grade classrooms.

Open Positions:

If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out the Wellington PTO Volunteer Interest Form 2022-23!

  • We have a call for 2 Co-Chairs for this year’s Multicultural Night (Spring 2023). Help organize one of the most engaging community events at Wellington by using your skills to select a theme, find cultural entertainment, organize student sign-ups for their chosen countries, and coordinate volunteers as needed. This event showcases and celebrates the diversity of our school community - please help make it a success again this school year! We have held this event for many years so there is a playbook to help guide the new co-chairs, and as always you will have the PTO board’s support! If you are interested, please contact wellingtonptopresidents@gmail.com 
  • ASE is hiring for our Winter and Spring, 7 Week sessions! Interested in teaching a one hour class? We can’t offer this popular program without instructors. Parents / Guardians have taught classes in running, meditation, languages, and LEGO just to name a few! Have an idea? We’d love to hear from you! ase.wellington@gmail.com
  • Our dynamic After School Extracurricular team is expanding. Come and be a part of this rewarding program! Help to brainstorm new offerings, develop the schedule, liaise with teachers and outside vendors, communicate with families! Job can be done remotely. Reach out to ase.wellington@gmail.com for more information.
