We are always looking for ways to work collaboratively with our parents to ensure our WRE students have the most inclusive learning environment at school and at home. Our PTO does a tremendous job of fostering and promoting a positive educational program. Our PTO meetings are open to all who wish to attend. We understand families are busy, feel free to join us when you are available. In addition, we are always in need of volunteers, room helpers, and committee chairpersons.
PTO Yearly activities
Ongoing fundraising:
BOX TOPS for Education: Parents send in Box Tops for Education Labels from General Mills products. The committee counts and bundles the box tops and sends them to the company for monetary exchange.
Fall Fundraiser:
Each year a fundraiser is held in an attempt to assist PTO in paying for sponsored activities as well as purchased items for Warrior Ridge Elementary. This is our most important source of income for our PTO organization. In the past, the money has been used for many things including computers, playground equipment, computer software, books, field trips, assemblies, and inside recess games.
Monthly Papa John's Pizza Night:
Monthly WRE PTO partners with Papa John's Pizza to host a fundraising event. By utilizing the ordering code, WRE earns money back each month. Simple, easy and a fun way to support our WRE PTO.
Santa Shop/Cookies with Santa:
Throughout the year we collect gently used or new items that can be utilized for our santa shop. Santa shop is an event where students can purchase items to gift to family and friends. Each year we rely on donations to help supply our santa shop. Donations can be dropped off at WRE T-F from 7:00-5:00pm.
Staff Appreciation Week:
Members of this committee provide a meal for the teachers on parent-teacher conference evenings. This is a way to show the staff how much we appreciate what they are doing for our learners. In addition, this committee helps determine innovative cost-effective ways to show our staff gratitude throughout the year as well as during staff appreciation week in May.
