Thank You for Conference Meals

Thank you SO much for the incredible amount of donations for our family-educator conference meal! The staff were so appreciative of your generous donations!

Spirit wear is being delivered very soon and is expected to be sent home by mid-October. Stay tuned for more details! Thank you so much for your patience!

 

Scholastic Book Fair Coming October 17 to 21

It's that time of year again...the annual Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Willow Grove from October 17 to 21!!
Please log into your Membership toolkit, and sign up to walk through the fair with your child and his or her class. Please note that you must update your membership toolkit family profile to include your child's current teacher:  https://wgkcpto.membershiptoolkit.com/volunteer/99912
Also, please consider setting up an e-wallet for your child to use to shop during the fair. It works just like a gift card so your student does not need to bring anything to the fair but his or her love of books and reading! Any unused funds go onto an e-gift card that can be used to make future purchases through Scholastic and/or fund an e-wallet at a future Scholastic Book Fair ~ even if it's at a different school.

Halloween Parties Held on October 31

Our room parents put together a fun celebration in each classroom!

Here are the times for the parties:

  • 10:00-10:45 a.m. (Kindergarten, Structured, and AM Blended/ECSE)
  • 2:00-2:45 p.m. (PM Blended/ECSE)

Only approved PTO parent volunteers may enter the building for the classroom parties. Every PTO volunteer approved to come into our school MUST have his or her license or ID scanned through our security system to enter. There is always a very long line at this first party, so please anticipate this. We highly encourage PTO room party volunteers to swing by Willow sometime in October before the party to have their license scanned, which will speed up the process.
