What to watch for this week:
Happy first week of school!

We have kicked off the week with some fun Back to School Events. A huge thank you to our K/1 Meet Up Committee - Desiree Hickey, Bethany Grau, Robin Rolston, Ashley Neely and Jayme Aronberg. The Castle Playground was packed on Sunday and you created a wonderful event for our new families and returning first graders. It was also great to see so many families attend the Open House last night. A big thank you to our teachers for opening their classrooms before the first day and welcoming us into your rooms.

As we look ahead, the calendar is pretty full over the next month with information nights, parent coffees, PTO events, fundraisers and more. Please take a look at the calendar posted on the PTO website to stay up to date and informed on what is happening next. Hope to see you all soon.

August 23 starts our Fall fundraising campaign!

We have again chosen Foertmeyer & Sons Greenhouse to help us raise funds for this year’s campaign. In the next week, a catalog will be coming home with your student.  And, on August 23rd, your student’s web sale code will be sent directly to your email. You can share this link with your friends and family so that they can purchase their flowers online!  

The fall mum sale was a huge success last year and enabled us to provide teacher grants for all of our teachers and staff. Let’s do it again this year!

School Supplies for 2022/2023 School Year

Back to School

The Wickliffe PTO is excited to sponsor a pilot program for bulk school supply order for the 2022/2023 school year!

 

Wickliffe teachers completed school supply lists for the 2022/2023 academic school year and the PTO submitted the supply order for all classrooms. By doing this, we can pass along the benefits of bulk pricing and the convenience of doing the shopping for you! This also ensures that all students start the year with the same supplies.

 

Starting in July, you will be able to pay your students’ school supply fee of $35 on our PTO website. All supplies will be delivered to your students’ classroom. If you have any questions regarding this pilot, please contact Dawn Hofherr at dawn.kuritz@gmail.com.
