We Need YOU For the PTA Nominating Committee

The WSES PTA is looking for three members to serve on this year’s Nominating Committee.

What’s a Nominating Committee?
The Nominating Committee will work together to identify potential candidates to serve on the PTA Executive Board for the 2022-2023 school year. It’s a great opportunity for someone who wants to be involved in the future of the PTA! Nominating Committee members must be current paid members of the PTA. (You can still become a member for only $15!)

*If you are considering serving on the Executive Board, please do not volunteer for the Nominating Committee.

Interested? Please email board@willowspringspta.net and let us know!

PTA Virtual Meeting, Important Votes, Tonight (2/9) at 7pm

The PTA will hold a virtual membership meeting tonight, Wednesday February 9th at 7pm online at the following URL: https://myfcpsk12.zoom.us/j/96635481010

In addition to regular business, the PTA will be holding two important votes. The first is whether to amend the previously approved budget. The approved budget reflected only the net revenue of $20,000 for the Boosterthon Fun Run, instead of accurately reflecting an anticipated revenue of $40,000 and expenditures paid back to Boosterthon in the amount of $22,000. The proposed amended budget can be seen here: Willow PROPOSED Budget Jan 2022

The second vote will be on which school supply kit vendor to choose for the upcoming school year.

We hope to see you there!
