- Donate to the WMS PTO with Gift Your Child. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit and all of our funding comes from our parent community. Every penny raised goes ONLY to WMS for the benefit of our students, staff and parent community. In fact, we are the only organization that puts your money to use only at WMS. So no need to sell gift wrapping or popcorn, simply donate here. Our goal is to have 100% of the community participate in supporting our children’s learning, at whatever level is meaningful to each family.
