DEI’s first community volunteering event! The DEI Committee at Wellington believes that anyone with a passion for improving their community can make a difference. Working together on a common goal reinforces that we all have a place of value in our community, and that our diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, abilities, and lived experiences truly enrich our society. We know that we can build a stronger community together through acts of volunteerism and by giving back. Therefore, the Wellington DEI committee is proud to present our first-ever volunteer event! This volunteer opportunity will take place at Cradles to Crayons in Newton on January 27th from 10am to 12pm, and will allow for 30 volunteers (3:1 adult to student ratio). You can sign up for this event HERE.
We invite you to visit the Belmont Department of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion website to learn more about the BPS commitment to DEI and how to sign-up to receive the DEI newsletter - https://www.belmont.k12.ma.us/bps/dei
Our hospitality team and Wellington community for helping us show appreciation to our teachers, showering them with treats and homemade baked goods the entire week before Winter Break!
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.
Annual Appeal! We ask that you consider a donation to the Wellington Fundraising Appeal. So far this school year, these funds have been used to reimburse teachers for their classroom supplies, purchase school supplies and grocery gift cards for Wellington students and families in need and fund school wide initiatives like new sports equipment, music stands, and storage sheds for both blue and green playgrounds.
If you have a corporate or workplace match, this is an amazing way to DOUBLE your impact.
