Trick or Trunk

10/25/2014

0 Comments

 
Not many Pictures this year, as we were all too busy dealing with the soggy sprinkles.  That didn't dampen our Halloween spirit though!  We had a great turnout despite the drizzle. People came from Columbia Crest, Eatonville, and as far as Tacoma.  Over 250 kids were there for sure, and that's not counting the grownups.  Everyone was given a glow bracelet, and worked the 22 trunks , three games, and the haunted bus.  Thanks to everyone who made this event a smashing success!! If you have more pictures, please send them to Corrine's email (link ---->)

Pioneer Farms Hands-On Visit

10/16/2014

0 Comments

 
Today, our neighbors and nonprofit partners generously donated their time to bring the Pioneer Farms experience to Weyerhaeuser kids. Kids were able to step back in time and learn how the children of the Ohop Valley learned, worked, and lived.  They pumped water, shaved with a straight-razor, churned butter, shaved limbs with a draw-knife, cut the firewood, and more. All of this was exchanged in kind to our PTA for the use of our WES gym during the summer for a filming project. Thanks also to our nine parent volunteers who worked the stations and made this event so successful and safe.

$2,000 from Box Tops has purchased the first four kits (good for 4-5th graders - two students per kit) A $3,000 donation from a parent was added to this pot, and a decision from our general membership meeting on Oct 13th has decided to grant another $2,100 of PTA monies to the school that will be expanding this program to encompass Kindergarten-5th graders, and up to 60 students in an after-school robotics club. YAY!!  (Thank you to that parent for the sizeable and generous donation!!)

This event was a blast! We want to give a big thank you to all that could attend and volunteer.  You made this a successful family fun night. We had yummy treats and Varsity Pizza for sale and great prizes for the Bingo Winners!  We also had a Fall Fundraising Kick-off with sweet cookie samples! It's great to see all the excited smiling faces of our families when they play bingo together. The only thing better is hearing the yells and whoops of a winning Bingo player!  See you all in February for our next Bingo Night!

Welcome Back Wildcats!

The first day of school is always charged with excitement. This one was no different.  We were there with coffee, treats and signups to greet all the eager learners and their parents at the front of the school on the 4th of September. We were also there on the 9th to greet our tearful Kindergarten parents as they held hands, bringing their little ones to the big school.  Kleenex were available, along with comforting stories of independence and newly found parental freedom. Almost all of our committees were staffed, and we're looking forward to a great year here at WES!

Trick or Trunk was bigger and better than ever! The weather cooperated and loads of costumed kiddos turned out. 255 pounds of candy were donated, and more than 1,200 little toys were passed out. Warm apple cider, coffee, and cocoa were for sale and several ghoulish games were played. Our terrific bus drivers decked out one spooky bus! 21 Trunks participated in the decorating fun with 1st place winner  Jason and Silvia Lewis with "The Last First Aid Station". 2 nd place, Rob and April Parke with "Zombie Shoot Out Game" winning family 4 passes to Maris Farms! Honorable Mentions: Chelsea Tindall, Jen Olsen and Bob & Nancy Barber.  The bounce house donated by Dale Maris was enjoyed by all, and warmed up a good many bouncers. Thanks Kari Agnew for taking the lead, Ashley Sova for adding her creative flair, and everyone who participated to make this a great, free event for our families!

Box Tops/Labels for Education

Our labels collection is off  to a  great start and well on it's way to meeting the goals this year. 
This  year, I am conducting bi-monthly contest for the classrooms, the first one   starting in October.  These contests really get the kids amped up and 
excited about collecting labels! 
      I invite you to register with www.btfe.com and www.labelsforeducation.com .   Both sites offer valuable coupons and links to other sites that can increase our  schools labels collections, many of which to not require a  purchase or actual label cutting.  Both sites run contest throughout the
year that you enter  just by logging in.  So please, check them  out!!!  There is a "goal"  poster hanging up in the office next to the map  (Track where our labels are coming from). It would be awesome to surpass those goals!!!  Please  attend the next membership meeting November 7th @2:30 and  share your ideas of how you would  like to see our Box Tops dollars and  Labels for Education points spent.   Don’t forget to ask EVERYONE that you  know to save their labels.
 
Thank You,
Kim  
Labels Coordinator

The prizes were out of this world!!  Grownups and kids alike loved them. Check out the slideshow to find yourself, or see what you missed.
