A Welcome Letter from our fearless leader, After-School Clubs Sneak Peek, Socials, & More! 
Welcome Back, Bulldogs!

We hope you had an incredible summer and are excited for another fantastic year at Waverly-Belmont!

As we kick off the school year, I’m thrilled to introduce your 2026–2027 PTO Board:

Kyra Halperin, President – 2nd grade
Jackie Tidwell, Vice President – K and 2nd grade
Hunter Roper, Treasurer – 1st grade
Caitlin McGuirk, Vice Treasurer – 1st grade
Lisa Buckley, Secretary – K and 3rd grade
Alex Russell, Communications – 2nd grade

We're incredibly proud of what our school community accomplished together last year. Thanks to the generosity of our families and supporters, we funded a beautiful new playground and helped bring Communities In Schools to Waverly-Belmont for the first time - two investments that will benefit our students for years to come.

This year, in partnership with school administration, our biggest priority is funding additional student-facing staff positions, along with supporting the many programs and initiatives that help our students and teachers thrive. We'll be sharing more about those goals and our fundraising plans in the coming weeks.
If you might have community connections that could possibly benefit from a partnership with our PTO, please fill out our Community Connections Survey linked below, under 'Happening Now'.

In the meantime, we'd love for you to get involved in whatever way works best for your family. Whether you have an hour to volunteer, a great idea to share, or simply want to stay informed, there's a place for you in the PTO.

Have a question, suggestion, or just want to say hello? We'd love to hear from you! Email us anytime at waverlybelmontpto@gmail.com, and one of us will get back to you.


Stay tuned for community PTO meeting and schoolwide event dates; we're also always happy to meet for coffee and get to know fellow WBE families.

To stay connected throughout the year:

- Keep an eye on your inbox for PTO emails.
- Visit our website regularly for news, events, and volunteer opportunities.
- Join your grade-level GroupMe for quick updates and reminders.
- Be sure to check out our PTO FAQ to learn more about what the PTO does and how your support makes a difference.

We're so grateful to be part of this incredible community and can't wait to make this another amazing year for our Bulldogs. Welcome back!

Kyra Halperin

President, Waverly-Belmont PTO
