What You Can Do
There are many ways that you can support your child’s educational experience through the PTO:
- 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.
- Subscribe to the WMS: School + PTO calendar to have important WMS dates automatically added to your calendar as they are finalized throughout the year. No need to add dates one by one!
- Join the WMS PTO Facebook Group and follow the WMS PTO Instagram page. Our communications team shares weekly snapshots, helpful reminders and photos to help you stay in the loop.
- Update your information in our new online family directory, Membership Toolkit. This is a great tool to connect with other WMS families. You can determine what information is shared for your family. .
- Check out other ways to support our schools. Daily activities support our schools; shopping at Stop & Shop and Amazon, disposing of old linens.
