PTA Looking for Audit Committee Members—No Daytime Requirements
The PTA is looking for members of the Audit Committee for the 2014-2015 school year. We would specifically like to know of any Wiley parents with CPAs or other similar accounting experience. The time commitment is minimal and can work with a full-time job as reviews can occur outside of school hours. For more information on the role of the Audit Committee, please reach out to treasurer@wileypta.org with questions or to volunteer your time.
Spring Book Fair, Teacher Appreciation Week and International Night a Hit
The PTA wants to send a huge thank you out to all of the volunteers who made two weeks of events a huge success.
The Book Fair did very well despite weather cancellation of the late evening event. Students went home with some wonderful new books, many of which were recommended by one classmate to another. In addition, the Book Fairy Fund collected enough money to fund a book for every child who could not afford one. Many students went home with atlases, non-fiction, or great, thick chapter books to enjoy during the summer. Thanks to all donors and volunteers!
Teacher Appreciation was fantastic. Every day, we heard teachers commenting on the great lunch options that day, how nice it was to skip making lunch for a week, and the generous, thoughtful and creative events / gifts put together by students and room parents. Thanks so much to all parents who volunteered to make the event such a success.
International Night is always a favorite event at Wiley, drawing current and past students for a night of food trucks, fun, and performances. This year’s event was a huge success. We heard parents wondering where to buy the great songs from the performances, saw Chinese yoyos flying through the air, and heard students commenting that they’d never tried Greek food before and really liked it. The Taiko drumming at the end was a big hit as well. This is one of our biggest events during the year, so thanks to all of the volunteers who made it happen!
