Dear A.E. Wright Families,
Thank you for your generous support to-date of our Annual Fund Appeal! If you haven't yet had a chance to contribute, it's not too late. Please take a moment today to make your gift at
SchoolPay.com
. I also want to thank those who attended our first PTSA full-association meeting on September 17, and to all those who have joined as PTSA members. Our bylaws, budget and meeting minutes can be found on the school website, for your reference, and our next meeting will be held the evening of December 17.
We are very excited for the second year of Step It Up! Our kickoff assembly was held this past Friday, September 28, and our students were pumped up! Please note that donations need to be turned in by Oct 12 to be eligible for prizes. See below for more details.
As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns to
aewptsa@gmail.com
.
With gratitude,
Sharon Stepenosky
President, AEW PTSA

STEP IT UP! is A.E. Wright’s BIGGEST fundraiser this year! STEP IT UP! is an interactive FUN ZONE + obstacle course that turns traditional fundraising on its head and lets our kids use their minds, bodies and energy to help their school raise money. Think of it like a Jog A Thon . . . except it's actually fun! Students collect donations to win prizes and qualify for the STEP IT UP DAY OF AWESOMENESS! The STEP IT UP DAY OF AWESOMENESS will be an OUT OF THIS WORLD experience where students get to challenge themselves on obstacles and games.
The most important thing you can do to support our school is to help your student complete the first night email campaign “Golden Ticket” that they have brought home from the assembly this past Friday.
To get our fundraiser off to a great start, we are asking each and every family to REGISTER and SEND OUT AT LEAST 10 EMAILS THE DAY THE FUNDRAISER STARTS to friends and family, enlisting their support. Don’t forget to ADD YOURSELF so that you, too, can donate online!
Students who participate will be eligible to take part in the STEP IT UP DAY OF AWESOMENESS on Friday, November 9! Students can win cash and prizes, relax in the VIP Chill Lounge and challenge themselves on the Interactive Obstacle Course based on the hit TV show WIPEOUT! HELP OUR SCHOOL & HAVE FUN!
