In-School Enrichment Highlight - Kindergarten!
This week the Acton Discovery Museum visited the kindergarten classes to teach them about Liquids & Solids. Students watched crayons melt with the help of a blow dryer and students observed the differences between chocolate chips melting in their hands & ice cubes melting in their hands. Lastly students became engineers and created their own insulated cups to keep ice cubes from melting!

Our amazing Fundraising team Allison Dahl & Lucy Seche for organizing a very successful Fun Run! And to all of our volunteers! And to all of our generous donors! Thanks to you, we will continue to fund the many programs, activities and materials that enrich our students’ learning experiences at Wellington.
Superintendent Jill Geiser and School Committee Chair, Meg Moriarty for attending our PTO board meeting last Monday evening. Dr. Geiser gave a presentation that highlighted how an override in the April 2024 election will be required to provide everything from basic needs to keep the schools open to the high quality educational experiences we have come to expect from our Belmont Public Schools.
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.
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.
