The Wilder Side
PTA Newsletter-- January, 2022 Edition
Valentine Box Bash
We are excited to host our first ever Valentine Box Bash! Students (K-5) will bring a box and decorate them at the event. We will have paper to wrap boxes, or students can bring their box ready to embellish.
To pull this off, PTA is requesting donations of supplies, as well as volunteers the evening of the event to help supervise the stations (stamping, painting, stickers, etc).See button below.
Items are due by January 31. You may drop them off on Janelle Patterson's porch (3260 E Seneca, right along back door car line) or in the marked box in the Wilder office.
