Message from the WHS PTSO Executive Board
As we approach winter break,
we want to thank all our PTSO volunteers for their dedication to the WHS community. We are so fortunate to have such a talented and generous group working to support our students, faculty and staff at WHS. Thank you!
We also want to take this opportunity to thank everybody who has generously donated to the "Advance the Excellence" campaign. Your financial support allows us to assist WHS teachers and staff with their professional development and classroom needs. We couldn't do it without you!
If you haven't had the opportunity to donate, we remind you that your gifts are tax-deductible. Many employers provide matching funds for donations; requests need to be completed by December 31. Make your check payable to WHS PTSO and drop it off at the WHS Main Office. Or to make a donation online,

We wish our entire WHS community a happy holiday and relaxing winter break. See you in the New Year!
Your Wellesley High School PTSO Executive Board:
Delissa Prideaux and Annie Hall, Co-Presidents
