The Wiley PTA will be holding an election for President for 2014-2015 on May 22nd. We have two moms who are both excited to lead the Wiley PTA in 2014-2015. More information on the election will be coming in the next two weeks, but in the meantime, make sure that you are a current (2013-2014 school year) member so you can cast your ballot!
If you need to check to see if you are a member, email saahyoga@gmail.com or mommy2brady@gmail.com. If you need to join, a membership form is attached to the blog this week. Submit the application with a check via your child's red folder. One membership entitles you to one vote, so if more than one parent / guardian would like to vote, make sure you are both registered members.
