Webster’s Challenge: October 7-18

This year, Webster the Wellington mascot has challenged our community to raise $30,000 between October 7 and October 18 to support all of our PTA activities and events. Yes, $30,000 is a lot, but Webster believes we can do it! This money is critical to the continuation of our programs, funding of grants provided to the school during the year, and all activities run by the PTA. If we meet the $30,000 goal, Mr. Schoenfeldt will kiss a pig!

Your student will be sent home with an envelope on Monday, October 7; please consider returning it with a financial donation before Friday, October 18, or you can make a donation at https://wellingtonpta.givebacks.gives/wc2024. Any amount helps! Remember that employer matching funds are a great resource, and as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID# 91-1061631), Wellington Elementary PTA will benefit! Yes, cash or check is great too! Email Emily at webschallenge@gmail.com if your business is interested in sponsoring and being promoted during this important event!

In the spirit of friendly competition, we will track how much is donated by classroom between October 7 and October 18. The classroom with the most funds donated during this time will get to pick out Mr. Schoenfeldt’s Halloween costume, and the top 3 classes will receive a small prize for each student. Winning classes will be announced on Monday, October 21.

We are celebrating the end of Webster's Challenge with a Glow Party! The Glow Party will be on Friday, October 18 from 5:30-7:30pm in the gym. Pre-purchase wristbands now to avoid a line at the party (https://wellingtonpta.givebacks.gives/wc2024)!
