Flowers will arrive at Wickliffe this Friday, May 6.  For the safety of our students, staff, and community, flower pick-up will begin at 4:30 p.m. No flower pick-up will occur immediately after school, nor will students be bringing them home. Anyone who orders flowers must pick up their order at the Wickliffe parking lot on Friday, May 6, from 4:30-7 p.m. Thank you!

Volunteers and wagons are still needed!

We need your help with the spring flower sale pick-up on Friday, May 6. Please sign up if you can help unload and sort 1,300+ flowers and plants from the Foertmeyer truck (8:45–11 a.m.) or help with pick-up (4:30-7 p.m.). We will be meeting in the Wickliffe parking lot.

We also need wagons to cart the plants to customers' cars – please sign up if you can loan us your wagon!

This is our final call for volunteers for After School Discovery dismissal! We are in need of volunteers from 3:45-4:15 on:

Tuesday, May 10
Thursday, May 12
Tuesday, May 17

Can you help?? Sign up at https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/70a0549a9a72ca2fc1-spring1. 

Volunteering is easy - it is just a 30-minute time commitment from 3:45-4:15. You will get a list of the students to be dismissed, and your job is to help them get to where they need to go - either to SACC, out the door to walk home, or to meet their grown-up who will be picking them up in the front of the school. This is a great opportunity to meet some of the kids and hopefully chat with another adult volunteer (our goal is two grown-ups per session). Especially if you have a child you will be picking up anyway, please consider coming a bit early to help out. We can't do it without you!

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: Our May restaurant fundraiser will be on Wednesday May 18, at Rita's Italian Ice on Henderson. Treat your kids (and yourself) to celebrate the end of the school year! Visit anytime from 3 p.m.–10 p.m., mention Wickliffe, and Wickliffe PTO will receive 20% back!

On Tuesday, May 31, Wickliffe will be participating in the Super Games Field Day thanks to the generosity of the Wickliffe PTO. This is the type of field day where the Adventure Education Company “Super Games” from Worthington brings the big equipment to the field area outside, along with water games and other activities on the blacktop. We are excited to be bringing back field day as our students haven’t had the opportunity to experience this these last two years. That being said, in order to make this day a success, we need the help of our caregivers!

If you would like to volunteer, please use this link to sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050C4CABAD28A4F49-wickliffe.

You may also email your response Mrs. Ritchey, our physical education teacher, at brichey@uaschools.org. As we get closer to the event, Mrs. Ritchey will contact caregivers directly to provide details. 

Morning session - 8:30-11:05 a.m.
Eirich, Kernan, Giles, Tasio, Blake, Bell, Jentgen, Hamilton, Silverman, Mabry

Afternoon session 12:05-2:30 p.m.
Craycraft, Pilutti, Coplin,  Blair, Nocera, Oberlin, Hughes, DW, Williams, Miller

As this school year winds down, we are turning our focus to planning for the next school year. Our success as a parent organization is a reflection of our volunteers... we couldn't do it without you. If you have thought about getting more involved next year but aren't sure how, please reach out to us! We are actively searching to fill many different opportunities. Email wickliffepto@gmail.com to let us know your interests and we will match you with an opportunity that fits your interests, skills, and time commitment! 

We are so excited for the first annual Wickapalooza Music Festival at Wickliffe on Friday, May 13, from 6-9 p.m. This event and all of the activities would not be possible without help from you! Please consider signing up for one of volunteer time slots to help make this first-ever event a success!
