PTA Meeting on Tuesday
Message from Mr. Burns
Hi Wims Families,
It was another beautiful weekend! I hope you were able to enjoy the extra hour of sleep with the clocks being set back this morning.
This week is highlighted by our PTA meeting on Tuesday evening. The turnout at last month's meeting was great. This month, administration will highlight the new MCPS School Improvement process and our specific goals at Wims. We hope to see you there!

From the PTA Board
Dear Families,
It was great to see all the costumes and smiles during the parade last week! The year may be winding down, but the PTA is not! In fact, it feels like we’re busier than ever. There are so many opportunities to volunteer and support upcoming events. Please take the time to read on to see how you can help. It truly takes a village to pull off so many great activities for our students and staff and we cannot do it alone.
The sign up is open for Grandparents’ Day on November 20th! The RSVP form will close after Nov. 13th and RSVPs are mandatory for this event.
Please join us on Tuesday evening, November 7th, for our November PTA Membership Meeting at 6:30 pm at Wims. The Zoom link appears below for those who attend virtually. As always, we highly encourage in-person participation as it facilitates our family environment. Have a wonderful Wildcat week!
~ PTA Executive Board and Officers

IT’S PIE TIME: MONDAY, NOV. 20
We think our staff are sweeter than pie… and it’s PIE TIME we let them know! Please sign up here to donate a few pies to our amazing Wims staff. Pies can be store-bought or made with love and can be any variety. Pies can be dropped off in the front office on Monday, Nov. 20th from 8am to 4pm so staff can select a pie to enjoy over the Thanksgiving holiday.
BOOK FAIR: Nov. 27
Fall Book Fair will officially kick-off on November 27th following the Thanksgiving break. We will open early for special shopping hours on Nov. 20th for Grandparents’ Day, from 8-9:30am. Wish lists will be coming home between Nov. 20-27th, depending on the preview schedule for your child’s classroom. Many volunteers are needed to make our Book Fair a success. Please sign up to help!. If you are interested in getting involved with the Book Fair at a higher level, consider the role of co-chair. This is a great opportunity for anyone wanting to be more involved with the school and PTA. If you have any questions or are interested in helping, please reach out to Danni Ibarra at vicepresident@wwespta.org.
