Welcome back! We hope everyone enjoyed the Spring break!
Our beloved Wellington tradition, Multicultural Night is coming soon! This is our last big community event of the school year! We’ll gather to celebrate cultural diversity at our school on Friday, May 10th from 6:00–8pm. Wellington is so lucky to have students and families who come from all parts of the globe. Let's get together outside (weather pending) to learn about other cultures, enjoy some food and entertainment, and revel in the fresh air! If the weather doesn't cooperate, we will set up inside Wellington.
We are in need of volunteers, either to:
If you can't volunteer, we understand, and hope to see you at the event! Please sign up here for volunteer openings or to host a country table.

The PTO Board is planning for the 2024-25 school year! Thanks to those who have reached out! It’s time to start building our volunteer village for next year. We have many board members graduating from Wellington which opens up spaces for new volunteers to join us, either as a board member or as a program / event specific coordinator.
Here is a list of open positions for the 2024-25 school year:

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.
For all of the 3rd and 4th grade families who have students heading up to the CUE (Chenery Upper Middle School) next 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.
