NEWS FROM THE PTSA
Hello, and Happy Friday!
- Our wrapping paper drive is going on through Monday 11/22, and we can definitely use more donations. Let's help our teachers by providing them with gift wrap, tape, bows, etc., to save them the trip to the store for these items. We can also shop for you if you prefer to make a monetary donation. Any unused items will be donated to a local organization. To sign up, please click HERE.
- Please consider designating the WYWLA PTSA as your Amazon Smile organization. It's super easy, and every purchase you make will benefit the PTSA, with no effort or extra steps on your part. To sign up, please click HERE, and search for 'PTA North Carolina Congress Wywla PTSA.'
- Ordering is open for Navy sweatshirts! We will accept orders through 12/3. Please note that, due to supplier issues, some sizes may take longer than others to arrive. To order, click HERE
- The Teacher Favorites list is back! If you plan to shop for your OWL's teacher, we've compiled a handy list full of ideas. HERE it is.
- From the Business Alliance, "Internship Fair - 4/29 - for our juniors and seniors. We are looking for businesses that would be willing to take on an intern to complete 120 Hours. The upcoming class of students will be WYWLA's biggest so we will need a lot of support from our businesses." Please reach out to Mr. Reed if you can help. freed@wcpss.net.
I wish everyone a happy, healthy Thanksgiving break! As always, please reach out any time,
Lynette
