Welcome 2017-2018 School Year
Hello and Welcome back for all the returning Families, Students, Teachers, and Staff! Welcome to the Wegeforth Family to all the new Families, Students, Teachers, and Staff! This year we have some very exciting events planned and we have great things planned for how we are giving back to the students! In Feb 2018 the PTA will be celebrating our 60 year anniversary as a PTA! We plan on having a celebrating on the actual day Saturday Feb 3rd! Please mark that down on your calendar now.
Next week we will start our membership drive and we would really appreciate it if you joined the PTA. Last year we had 75 members and I am hoping we can beat that number this year! Anyone can join the PTA, parents, students, family, neighbors, community members, etc. Our membership is $10.00 a year. The more members we have the stronger our voice! It is important to become a member so you not only support our many programs of giving back to the students, but so you can stay on top of important school information and can vote at our meetings. Please plan on attending our first General meeting on September 20th at 5pm so you can vote on important business and also if you want to be voted on to the Executive Board. Please make sure you are a member before we can vote you in.
We will be starting our first fundraiser of the year next week as well. This is the Pacific Fundraiser and there is a catalog of goodies for sale. We would appreciate your participation in this first Fundraiser of the year.
During back to school night the PTA will be hosting a book fair. Half of every purchase goes back to the school so we can purchase books for the library, classrooms, and support the Wegeforth Reads Program. Your child will also be able to purchase books at the book fair when their class shops on Thursday September 21st.
I am looking forward to a wonderful school year and hope to see you at our many events! Please email me at [email protected] if you have any questions.
Have a wonderful day! Jessica Jacoste PTA President

First I'd like to report that we have 71 members! That is really awesome! Thank you to everyone who is a member. You are truly doing "good things for kids" which was the PTA'S theme this year!
There are some exciting things we have coming up in February!
Feb 2nd - Family PTA Dine Out Panera Bread
Feb 9th - Jump Rope For Heart - a long standing tradition for Wegeforth
Feb 14th - Muffins for Moms and Grandmother - all classes have PE on this day so Moms and Grandmoms will be going to PE and then afterwards to the staff lounge for refreshments! Happy Valentine's Day!
In early March we have Read Across America on March 2nd. We also have our PTA Family Dine Out at Chuck E. Cheese on Friday March 3rd so plan on taking the whole family there that day!
I also wanted to note that we cancelled our movie night this month. It would be great to have some feedback from our school community on ideas for a fun event we could host that people would attend. We have thought about family game night or a coding night. If you are reading this and have any ideas please email me at [email protected], I'd love to hear from you!
We have our PTA Executive Board elections coming up for the 2017-2018 school year on March 21st at 6pm in the library at our General Meeting. We have a very important position to fill - Treasurer. For the school to have a PTA we must have a President, Secretary, and Treasurer. We can only hold positions for 2 years and our current Treasurer Griselda will be finishing her two year term in June. Griselda has done a wonderful job as Treasurer! To be elected on the board you must be a PTA member for 30 days before the election so if you are thinking about being on the board please put in your membership soon! Email me if you have any questions or are interested! I can put you in touch with our nomination committee.
That is it for this month. Have a wonderful month!❤

Thank You
October 24,2016
Wow wow wow!!! I am so impressed and thankful for all the support the Teachers, Staff, Students, Families, and Community showed for Monster Mash! We had a lot of baked goods and cake donations! By far the most we have had in my 3 years on the PTA, so thank you very much! We also had a lot of great donations for our silent auction baskets! Every year we try and improve Monster Mash in some way and this year we had more games and a lot of new games as well! We hope everyone had a blast! So much time and effort goes into those 2 short hours and I’d also like to thank everyone who volunteered to make that day a huge success! We are so fortunate to have such awesome people that wanted to help make that day as special as possible.
This week is Red Ribbon week and then in two weeks we will celebrate National Parent Involvement Day with a BBQ lunch and some time for parents in classrooms and recess. I will post more on that soon.
Again Thank You to all of you!
Have a great night! Jessica

We are also accepting donations for the bake sale and cake walk. We will have a PTA drop off table for those goodies on Friday morning 10/21.

A flyer with the details of the baskets for auction will go out on 10/18. We will accept cash and checks made out to Wegeforth PTA.
The week right after Monster Mash is Red Ribbon week (10/24 - 10/28). This year we are going to do a Red Ribbon Week spirit week! Each child will also receive a small gift from the PTA to remind them to stay drug free. Here are the details on the spirit week:
Monday – Team up against drugs and wear your Favorite team jersey or shirt Tuesday – Give drugs the boot and wear western wear Wednesday – Don’t get mixed up in drugs and wear mix match clothing Thursday – Lei off drugs and wear your Hawaiian wear Friday – Wear all red today to help raise drug awareness
I also want to say thank you for all that have joined the PTA! As of 10/11/2016 we are at 61 members! It is not too late to join – let’s keep that momentum going! If you join PTA before Monster Mash we will give you 5 tickets to use at Monster Mash. If you join while at Monster Mash you get a free combo meal at Monster Mash.

We did a count a few days ago and are very happy to report we have 26 members! This is really awesome for the second week of school. Each membership helps us have money to fund all the programs and events we host during the school year. We will be monitoring the progress of each class on the last bulletin board in the lunch court. Also each member will receive 5 tickets to use at Monster Mash on Oct 21st! We are also running our Pacific Fundraiser this month! Please return those orders to school on Tuesday September 20th.
