WCS PTA Spooktacular Dance to benefit Backpack Program

Mark your calendars;  the PTA's Spooktacular Dance is baaaaackk!  On Friday, October 30, 6:00-8:00pm.  This is a family-themed dance for PreK-5 students and at least one parent or adult chaperone!

Cost is $5.00 per family.

Our PTA Veep, Deb O, is going all-out for a fun-packed few hours of music, dancing and games!  Come dressed in costume to enter the Costume Contest (kids and parents too) - Bring your fabulous carved pumpkin as a contest entry in our "pumpkin patch".

Enjoy some snacks - enter the 50/50 raffle, have your fortune read and bring your camera to take advantage of the Photo Op booth!

But here's the best part, all of the proceeds will go toward support of the Woolwich Central Backpack Program!  

In it's 3rd year, the Backpack Program is lovingly looked after by our very own Nurse Sherwood.  Every Friday, students who may be food insecure are presented with a backpack filled with at least 5 non-perishable food items that will create at least one meal for the family.  Response has been overwhelmingly appreciative from those families in need and the program is discreet and confidential.

Each family attending the dance that donates a non-perishable food item will be entered into a drawing for a family movie night package!

Donation suggestions are: canned meats (tuna, chicken), pasta and sauces, dry cereal, oatmeal, canned fruits and vegetables, and peanut butter (always popular and always needed)

Many members have asked how they can help with the dance.  Here is the link to sign up for an activity or task.  Can't come to the dance? Donate a healthy baked good or snack for the snack table (all snacks will be complimentary) CLICK HERE TO VOLUNTEER

Being involved with the PTA need-not require lots of time.  It's often the little details (run an errand, donate a snack, website advice, maybe even just some muscle for event setup) that make the world of difference in the success of something we do!

If anyone has further questions or suggestions, email any time at woolwichptc@yahoo.com.  It's going to be a fantastic night!
