Long Pants Needed! 

WB is in need of long pants for boys and girls sizes 4, 5, 6, & 7.  ONLY long pants, no shirts or dresses please. You can drop off the donated clothing to the front office, there is a Unicycle donation bin in the front vestibule.
Spring Social/Fundraiser
 
Please join us for this year's re-imagined Parent/Teacher Social and Fundraiser - the inaugural year of Rock the House!  The event will feature a band made up of WB parents who will be backing our very own WB teacher's/staff.  Book your sitters (don't forget Wyndy gives $5 back to PTO for every completed babysitting job - code WBPTO) and get ready for a fun night in support of WB.  All tickets include light bites, drinks and of course one of a kind entertainment - we can't wait to see you there!
Reminder: Wyndy babysitting app giving $5 from each job to WB!
Need a babysitter? Consider booking one with the app, Wyndy! Wyndy is an app where you can find, book and pay background checked, college student babysitters. It's easy to use and a reliable way to get great sitters (I know from personal experience! Highly recommend!). Best part about it, is they are giving $5 for every job back to WB! When it asks for a school code, just type in WBPTO. 
Reminder: Updated Stock the Lounge Requesets
Each grade level has a turn to stock the lounge, but in between, we still need help! Recently, a request box was put in the lounge for what the teachers love to see. Let's keep fueling our teachers with their favorites! 
Other items that aren't as easy to add and would be better purchased elsewhere (i.e. costco) that teachers love...
-Coke 
-Diet Coke 
-Coke Zero or diet soda with caffeine
-Dr Pepper 
-Ginger Ale
-Fresca
-mini Sprite
-Gatorade
-Propel

Thank you for helping in this much appreciated effort!
