With cold weather nearing, the PTA Internal Needs committee is asking for your help in keeping students warm as the temperatures begin to drop. You can help in the following ways:
1. Purchase sweatshirts and umbrellas from the Amazon wishlist. They will be delivered directly to the PTA Internal Needs committee.
2. Purchase new cold weather clothes (pants, long sleeve shirts, and jackets / sweaters / sweatshirts) in sizes Youth Medium, Youth Large, and Youth X-Large online or in the store.
3. If you are doing an overhaul of your kid's clothes, we need great used condition pants, long sleeve shirts, and jackets / sweaters / sweatshirts in Youth sizes small, medium, large, and x-large.
All items can be dropped off to Amanda Dikdan at Wilchester Elementary School or to Brandi Stanton's house (13415 Westport Lane). If you'd like to order online, you can ship directly to either Amanda Dikdan's office or Brandi Stanton's house.
Thank you for your assistance in keeping all WCE students warm this autumn and winter.
Hi campers! The 2023-2024 yearbook committee is ready to bring you an amazing yearbook this year. To do this, we need your help!

This way you can upload photos from your phone and send them directly to the yearbook committee. We really want to make sure that every child is included in the yearbook this year so please only submit photos with two or more students so we can make room for everyone. Also, please make sure to include grade level and names of people in the photo so we can get them to the right place. If the app isn't working for you, you can also email pictures to wceyearbookpics@gmail.com!
