If you have not joined yet, please consider it as it is a very easy way you can help our school. Joining does not obligate you to volunteer in anyway; however, we do love our volunteers and there are many different areas in which you can help. An annual membership is $6 for an individual or $10 for 2 adults and either cover as many children as you have at WES.
This year, the PTA is not mailing out membership cards. After joining, you can go to www.pta.org and log in using the email address you provided when signing up. Online, you can print membership cards and see the many benefits to joining. If you do not have online access, please let us know and we will provide a card.
