Have a friend who didn't receive an eBlast this week? It's probably because they missed the deadline to join the PTA. Oops. Good thing we will still accept their membership through the "Small Form" throughout the year.

Please forward the link below to your friend so they can join. 

And, did you know that belonging to Wilchester's PTA gives you access to great discounts on goods and services through Texas PTA?  Click here  to learn more!   


If you have questions please contact wilchesterptapresident@gmail.com

Mark your calendars for Friday, November 22. Starting at 7:30 am we'll have "Donuts with a Grown Up"-  a chance for one adult to come with their student/students for a donut before school. Meet us near the front doors under the covered area - wear your favorite sports shirt or jersey because it's also Field Day!

 

November 22nd is NOT a walk and roll, so while we encourage you to bike or walk with your kiddos, due to limited parking, visitors will NOT walk inside the school. You'll say goodbye at the door.

Call for Donations
 

Do you have event tickets, a vacation home, autographed memorabilia or connections to other amazing items or experiences? Consider donating a good or service to our 2025 WCE Auction! 

 

Without the generous support from donors like you, our school programs would not receive the crucial funding needed to be sustainable. Any donation, big or small, would be greatly appreciated and make a real difference! Please click here if you are ready to make a donation.
