TK & K Dance Teacher Job Vacancy
We would like to thank Nathalie Wutkee for her service as our TK and Kinder dance instructor this past Fall. Over winter break, Nathalie accepted another job offer that will propel her forward in her career as a movement specialist, so we are currently seeking candidates to fill the TK and Kinder dance instructor position at Wildwood. The position is only 2 hours per week, scheduling is flexible, and a teaching credential is not required. If you know someone who might be interested in the position, please encourage them to contact Mr. Lynch at klynch@conejousd.org.

What is School Cents???
We post about it weekly, but do you really know about School Cents?
School Cents is a program that gives money back to local schools when families log their purchases made at the Oaks Mall. Logging receipts is INCREDIBLY fast and easy - simply submit via THIS form, or text them directly to Jen @ (909)374-1598. You can also drop any receipts off at the school front office.
Here's what you may not know about School Cents... it is a competition! Not only are schools competing against one another to win extra funds for their placement, but if schools don't earn enough points, they can be removed from the program. Wildwood is currently in 10th place (out of 15 schools) so we need your help! See below for the current promotions:
From Nov 1-Jan 15, we can still earn an extra 20 points per dollar spent.
Taking Santa photos?! Buy a photo package and earn Wildwood 1,000 points. Make reservations at www.shoptheoaksmall.com/santaphotos. Remember to send and save those receipts!
More Ways Your Purchases Help Wildwood
Did you know that by shopping at Ralph's, you can earn money for the school?
Link your Ralph's Club Card and earn Community Rewards that will contribute directly towards Wildwood. You only need to set it up and then every purchase contributes -- you can even share the link with friends and family! Currently, only 29 of our families have registered - let's get that number up!
Create or log in to your Ralphs account, click on your name, then "My Account", and then "Community Rewards" on the left side of the page. Then simply designate Wildwood PTA as your organization and you're done!
Thank you for all the support!

Just a reminder to please place your children's names on jackets, water bottles, lunch boxes, etc. Our Lost and Found is already starting to fill up again, and labels are the best way to ensure that your student's items find their way back to their proper home.
Wildwood Talent Show
Our annual Wildwood Talent Show will take place in March. Do your children have any special talents? Singing? Dancing? Juggling? We’d love to see them! Please encourage your children to start working on their act now. More details about tryouts, practices, and the show will come soon!
