Harvest Supper

Thank you to everyone who has signed up to attend and/or volunteer for this year's Harvest Supper on October 5th!

Raffle baskets are a BIG part of our supper.  The community members, families and supper attendees love seeing the wide array of items that get donated every year for these baskets.
 
This year the 6th graders will manage the baskets to support their 6th grade graduation class gift.  We are asking our students and parents to support the raffle in two ways:

  1. All students (pre-k through 6th) will be coming home with 20 raffle tickets to sell. (Check your backpacks!)   1 ticket=$1, payable in cash or via Venmo. Person does NOT need to be present to win a basket. This is a great way for students to ask community and family members to help support their school.

  2. We are looking for donations for the baskets.  These baskets are adult and family themed, with past basket themes being kitchen items, Vermont products, family game night, gardening, a night on the town, etc.  Donation boxes will be outside both TPVS and WES. 

Please return your sold raffle tickets and collected funds to your school’s front office by Thursday, Oct 3rd

Have you signed up to attend and help the Harvest Supper?  This event sells out every year!  Sign up now!

Teacher Appreciation Week

Hello WES Families!

Teacher Appreciation is here!  Below is a reminder of the activities we have planned and some that we need your help with:

 May 6th, 3-4 pm: Chalk the Walk! Come out and decorate our school entry way with words and pictures of Thank you to our Teachers and Staff at WES!  Kids are welcomed and  encouraged to contribute!  Chalk will be provided.

May 7th & 8th: The PTO will be selling individual Thank you carnations to students before school.  The student will hand deliver the flowers to everyone they want to show gratitude to!  

$1.50/flower. $3 for 2 flowers, $6 for 4 flowers, $9 for 6 flowers, $12 for 8 flowers, $15 for 10 flowers

Teacher "A Few of my Favorite Things" including Amazon Wishlists: We have gone out to the Teachers and Staff at WES and asked them a few questions about their personal likes/dislikes along with what they need for their classrooms.  This list is ongoing and will permanently be housed on the PTO website.  Our goal is to have this list updated at the start of each school year and one can reference this list throughout the year for gift ideas.  Some have included Amazon wish lists - the items will ship directly to the school to their attention - super easy!
