STAFF APPRECIATION WEEK 5/3-5/7
It’s almost time to celebrate our Wiley SUPERHEROES! Click here to see the flyer! We need a LOT of help from our Wiley families to make the week possible. We need three types of donations: gift cards for a raffle, canned drinks, and store-bought desserts. We are not able to have homemade food this year due to COVID restrictions. That makes your support extra important. Sign up here to donate gift cards or drinks. Sign up here to bring desserts.
We also need a few volunteers to help organize each day - if you can shop online, you can help! We will need a few volunteers each day to help run the events (read: you’ll get to come inside the school!) Please email Mary-Ellen at president@wileypta.org if you have a few hours to spare. We need you!

News from our Cecilia Rawlins Fund
Wiley Parents help us out! Do you have your CPA or experience working with non-profit books? Like planning events and hoping to throw the biggest one yet when it's safe? Marketing, advertising or grants experience?? Love raising funds for great causes? We are looking for new board members to join the Cecilia Rawlins Fund. If you're short on time, but you wish you could do more; we're a great option. We meet monthly (via Zoom currently), so the time commitment is low. However, your impact will be big for our Wiley community! Please email our current board president, Claire Roberts (claire.p.roberts@gmail.com) if you're interested in serving on the board.
If you're donating your stimulus check or have a big tax refund, please consider donating to the Cecilia Rawlins Fund. The Backpack Buddies program has increased from around 30 students to over 50 this year. Our goal is to ensure Wiley children and their families have access to food now and through the summer. The Cecilia Rawlins Fund also provides financial assistance to families experiencing an immediate need, like one-time rental assistance, utility bill payment, gas cards and assistance moving from homelessness to permanent housing.
Thanks to the Wiley community's generous and continued support, the Cecilia Rawlins Fund continues to provide needed resources to our children this school year in the absence of traditional food distribution methods. We are committed to supporting as many of our Wiley families as possible. For more information or to make a donation, visit our website. (http://rawlinsfund.org/)
