Membership Has BOLD Goals!
The PTA Membership Committee has made several bold goals for our first year! First, membership is going paperless! To join PTA, use
this link
, at the end you will be given options on how to pay. Second, we hope you will pay using the CheddarUp link with either a credit card or an electronic check. This will significantly cut down on clerical errors & make the transition to the new school more efficient for all. Finally, we would love to have every family join the PTA so that all ideas and voices are a part of shaping the new WES! We will keep you up to date on our progress in this newsletter and on social media. Questions? Call Rachel, 440.477.8145.
