The new spirit wear is here!! New for 2018, we have dark heather gray zip up hooded sweatshirts with the Wards Creek logo on the back and WCES on the left front breast. These sweatshirts are high quality and super comfy - you're going to want one for when the weather gets cooler!!

Children's Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL are $20 each
Adult Sizes: S, M, L, XL, 2XL, and 3XL are $22 each (SIZE CHART HERE)

You can pick up your sweatshirt TONIGHT at McTeacher Spirit Night or if you miss them tonight (most likely to sell out this evening...) place your order for delivery using our web store or return this form to your child's teacher. 

Due to some late requests for shirts, we will be placing one final order for shirts. (This includes 5th grade shirts!!) If you still need a shirt, this is absolutely the last order of the year. Please note, we do not have any additional 5th grade shirts in stock, so if you ordered the wrong size or wanted an extra, this will be the only way to get the shirt you need!!

Late order shirts will ONLY be available via the web store - click here to order. Shirts are $15 due to the fact that we are outside of our normal ordering period (they cost us more when they are late orders, unfortunately...).  All shirt orders that have come in have been filled, so if you did NOT get a shirt and think you should have, now is the time to let us know so we can research it and take care of it!! Thank you!

​We've been so excited about Noodles & Numbers, but there's something else exciting starting this week.... BOOK FAIR!!!! Our media specialist extraordinaire, Ms. Hinman, has been hard at work on this year's book fair! We have a new vendor, so you won't want to miss the variety of books and exciting new surprises.

This year you can skip worrying about cash and send your child with a gift card! Visit www.follettgift.com to purchase!

The book fair could use some volunteers - so if you have time to spare in the coming weeks, please consider giving a few hours of your time.

PS: Book fair will be open during Noodles & Numbers (9/14) and Leadership Night (9/20) if you want to shop with your student!

We are 1 week away from Noodles and Numbers - our first ALL FREE event of the year!! Join us on Friday, September 14 from 5-8 pm!!  Start the night with a free pasta dinner (from 5-6 pm), a super quick (we promise!) PTO meeting & follow up with a fun night of math games for all ages (from 6-8 pm), thanks to our friends at Mathnasium. Research shows that family engagement leads to greater student success, so start your year off right! Want more information on what math night is? Check out this video to see how much fun one Tampa area school had!

RSVP to save your spot at the table (all are welcome - this event is for all WCES families). RSVP Is not required, but if you think you're going to come, please let us know so we can make sure we have enough food and goodies for everyone!!: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0d48a8af29a7f94-wces

​** We need volunteers to make this night a success! (Teens needing volunteer hours are welcome!)

Our membership drive is underway!! This year, we will have multiple membership levels (or you can stick with our basic $10 level!). We have some great new sponsors on our local discounts card, too, so that membership will pay for itself in no time flat!

Here is the membership form - you'll get it in your back to school packet and also see it at school during open house. Please return it to the PTO - if you join in the first week, you'll be entered to win a great prize! We hope you'll join us this year!

PS: The General Level PTO Membership ($10/family) has been added to our PTO Web Store, if you prefer online shopping and credit card payment!

Back to school is just around the corner and we have some exciting changes to our membership program that we would like to share with you!! Our basic membership will still be available - same as it's been all these years ($10 for your entire family!), but this year we are also offering expanded memberships! Check out the information below and start thinking about which option is best for your family! Every membership includes a local business discount card with some GREAT new partners this year!

​Beyond joining, it's up to you how far you take your membership. Want to come to all the meetings? GREAT! Want to come to none of the meetings? That's ok too!! Have a lot of time to give?? COME SIT BY ME!!! Have no time to give?? We understand and we appreciate your financial support just as much!!! We promise, NO PRESSURE!! Just join!!
