Valentine's Day Parties

Mr Bax reported the Party In a Box went over well for the winter holiday parties. He suspects this will be the format we will be following for the upcoming Valentine's Day parties. Stay tuned for more information regarding Valentine's boxes and Valentine's to be handed out to friends. Parties will be held on the afternoon of Friday, February 12.

Caring and Sharing

The PTA Clothing Bank will re-open for shoppers January 21st. The Clothing Bank is currently open for donations of clean, gently used clothing at 2343 W. Olive, in the Study Alternative School. The Wash House is no longer accepting donations due to lack of space to store them. Donations may be dropped off in boxes (no bags please) at Wilder and the school district will deliver them to the Clothing Bank. Bagged donations may be dropped off at Wilder in the bins outside the office and will be delivered to the Clothing Bank by the Caring and Sharing Committee.

The 2020/2021 Wilder Directory is Going Digital

The 2020/2021 edition of the Wilder Directory was included in the blast Mr. Bax sent out on January 6th. Please contact the PTA email at wilderpta@gmail.com if your information has changed or needs to be updated.
