The Wahkiakum County Eagle - Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891

From the Desk of The PTO:

I’d like to thank each and every individual that made the 2015-2016 school year a great success!

We worked hard and accomplished a lot, and that was only with the help of the volunteers, parents, grandparents and community. Thank you!

This year we put a lot of our efforts into the School Library and were able to purchase approximately $4000 worth of brand new books for the great kids at JA Wendt and we also were able to buy new books for the classroom libraries. This is awesome! The teachers and kids in their classes were stunned when we walked in and told them that certain individuals bought books for their classroom. So on behalf of them they were beyond words, thank you to all that helped out with this project and to all of the volunteers that help us with the BOGO Book fair and the Fall Fair, The PTO can’t thank you enough!

We had a great school year and now it is time to say goodbye, we will host our Field Day event on Monday June 13 at the school. If you returned the yellow slip to help out with your child’s class and in helping the PTO with all the fun you should have received a call as to where and when we will meet. If you forgot to hand in the slip, it’s not too late. Please contact me at 360-431-3661, and we will see what we can do. We have lots of fun games planned and want everyone to get a chance to have fun and enjoy the day!

The Parent Teachers’ Organization of JA Wendt is always looking for new faces and new ideas to try. We need your help in accomplishing this task. We are making a lot of new and exciting changes to the PTO and really need your help. Please, we will be meeting next Wednesday the 15th at 6 p.m. If you are able to attend and help us plan some fun and exciting new ideas for the upcoming school year, please try to attend a meeting. We are hoping to change the meeting times next year but we need your input as to what you feel a better time would be instead of 6 p.m. Let me know through Facebook Messenger or even through the J.A. Wendt PTO Facebook page. This sight lets you see what events are happening at the elementary school.

Have a super and fun summer, everyone!
