SUBJECT: Wickliffe PTO Weekly - What to watch for this week (12.06.2022)

Facebook
What to watch for this week:

Our family had so much fun last Friday night watching Mrs. Santilli's 2/3 class perform the Goblins in the Castle play. They spent over three months working on the script, costumes and set design. It was so magical to see it all come to life that night. We have a few updates and reminders in the newsletter and are also enjoying that the PTO calendar is slowing down as we head into winter break.

Have a great week!

Lindsay James and Dawn Hofherr

Guess who's back? Coffee Cart is back! 

Cooler weather calls for hot coffee, tea, and treats for our dedicated Wickliffe staff. One of the core offerings of the Staff Appreciation Committee is the Coffee Cart. We make coffee and tea, gather treats and snacks, and then travel throughout the school to share with all staff. It’s a small but important way to show our educators our immense appreciation for all they do (and help them sneak in a little caffeine!). 


The coffee cart is offered on Wednesdays from 7:45 a.m. - 9:15 a.m. and we are in search of volunteers to help with a morning shift (making coffee, stocking the cart, and walking it around to the classrooms). Can’t join us in person? You can also support by making an early morning donut run. Lots of ways to get involved! Contact Marjie.Bland@gmail.com if you’re interested in helping!
