Final Teacher Appreciation Luncheon
Friday, June 2nd 8:00-8:30am (item drop-off) 10:30am (serving start time) https://signup.com/go/JpaykpY
The PTO would like to show the Wellington teachers and staff our gratitude and celebrate the end of the school year with a summer theme luncheon. Please bring items to the teachers room before school (8:00-8:30am) or closer to serving time (10:30am) if better for your dish. It is not necessary for your contributions to be home made, and if you bring a serving dish that you would like returned, please label and pick it up at the end of the school day. The PTO receives many words and notes of thanks as these quarterly events are a highlight of the school year. We typically serve around 100 teachers and staff, so your support is greatly appreciated!

The Month of May is a time to recognize and celebrate the rich cultural heritage, history, and contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs), Haitian Heritage, Indian Heritage and Jewish American Heritage to the United States. May also kicks off Mental Health Awareness Month (MHAM). Mental health includes a person’s emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how a person thinks, feels, and acts as well as helps determine how one handles stress, relates to others, and makes healthy choices.

This year alone close to 300 students signed up to join in on the fun. We ran popular clubs like Dungeons and Dragons, Chess, Japanese for Fun, and more! Without your help, the PTO clubs will not run!
Whatever your skills, please volunteer! The tasks are easy and don't require a lot of your time:
