PureArt Cards Fundraiser

This year, we have added a new fundraiser which will benefit the Art Department. PureArt Cards (click name to go to their website) is a local company in Portland which makes holiday cards, checkbook covers, note cards, necklaces, etc. using YOUR child's artwork. Over the next three weeks, Laura Devin will be having every student at WCS make a piece of artwork. On Oct 9th, a packet will go home to parents on ordering information. When a parent places an order, they will receive it all with their child's artwork on it. We will profit 60% of all orders which is incredible! All products will be delivered back to parents before Thanksgiving break.

Updates

It was great to meet some new faces and see returning parents at the WCS Open House last week. Because that event took the place of our normal meeting, I wanted to touch base on a few items:

1) Scholastic Book Fair - Our first book fair of the year starts on Monday, Sept 21 thru Friday, Sept 25th. It will be open during normal school hours. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Stefanie McElman at mainco@suscom-maine.net. Shifts for volunteers are 8a - 12p and 12p - 3p.

2) Sarah Savard is looking into whether we could hold a "Trick or Trunk" in the parking lot followed by a family dance on Oct 30 or 31st. Will update everyone as information is gained.

3) Laura Devin would like us to split the cost of the Share Center this year again. It is based on how many students we have and as I get the final amount needed I will update.

4) Our new wrapping paper catalog, Sally Foster Fundraiser will begin Oct 26 - Nov 13th.

Our next meeting will be on Thursday, Oct 8 at 6p at WCS. Hope to see you all soon!

First Meeting of 2009-2010...

Hard to believe that school started today! Hopefully all of the kids had a successful day!

Our first meeting is going to be a "Meet and Greet" on Wednesday, September 9th, 530pm at WCS. Our normal meetings will be held on the second Thursday of the month. Due to scheduling conflicts this months will be on Wednesday. This evening is also the WCS Open House and so we thought it might work if people were planning on coming to the school for the open house, they stop in first for a fast, casual meeting and then head to their child's classroom. Instead of having to come to the school two nights in the week. We will set up a table in the cafeteria to, hopefully, meet some new parents and also should be able to discuss a few items we have so far.

In addition, our first Scholastic Book Fair will start September 18th!!

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns and I hope to see all of you soon!!

Last PTC Meeting of 2008-2009 Year...

The PTC will be holding it's last meeting of the year tonight, Thursday, June 11 at 6:30 p.m. We thought it would be fun to go out to dinner and are planning on meeting at Montsweag Roadhouse at 6:30 p.m. If you would plan on attending and have not said so yet, please email Karen Madden at woolwichptc@yahoo.com since we are making reservations.

Thanks for a wonderful year and all your hard work! Have a great summer and see you in the fall!!

Book Swap

BOOK SWAP - BOOKS NEEDED!!
Time to clean out those bookshelves and donate kids books to the WCS BookSwap (which will take place on June 4th). We need children's and young adult books in good condition. We especially need books for 5th-8th grade. Please take the time to see what you don't need anymore, and send them in for donation. (there is a collection bin near the WCS library). In return, your child will come home on June 4th with some new reading material for themselves!
Thank you for your efforts!!
