The Fun Run is the MOST FUN, FUNdraiser! We are at 25% of our goal! Our biggest fundraiser of the year helps us provide amazing field trips, in-school enrichment programs and teacher support! We’ve raised 25% of our goal ($5,000 of $20,000)! There are 15 days left until the Fun Run on October 13, and if we hit our goal, everyone earns an extra recess.
We are still looking for course monitors and parent runners (especially for 1st and 2nd grade!), but you must sign up and have an active CORI form on file by this Friday 9/29! Sign up here!
Here's how you can help us reach our goal:
Wellington’s Curriculum Night is tomorrow, Thursday September 28th from 6:30pm-8pm. Here is the schedule:

Kate Vigour for organizing and running a very successful School Picture Day! And to our incredible volunteer team who supported the students and staff throughout the entire day. We had 274 picture pre-orders, and a portion of pre-order net sales goes towards the PTO. Thank you for supporting our fundraiser!
The PTO runs on our volunteer engine and we have many opportunities throughout the year for families and guardians to participate and support our students. The best place to start is by completing our PTO Volunteer Interest form - here.
Here are our current open positions and volunteer opportunities::
Important note to all volunteers: Everyone will receive a CORI form (one per household - feel free to make a copy) in your Communications Folder. If you can support the PTO and would like to volunteer, CORI forms are required for every parent volunteer. You must bring the completed form and a form of ID to the Wellington office to complete the process. CORIs are valid for three years! We highly recommend you get these completed early in the school year.
