UPCOMING EVENTS
Winter Wonderland Dance

The Junior and Sophomore classes are putting on a Winter Wonderland Dance for all students and they need help from our parents. Sign-Up Here

When: Friday, January 20, 2023
Where: J.M. Wright Technical High School
Cost: $25 per student 

The students need help with decorations, smoke machines, fire pits, firewood, chocolate fountains, tents, chaperones, plates, cups, water, tables, and chairs. 

If you would like to make a cash donation for the dance, you can use Venmo to @JMWrightPFO OR write a check to JMWT PFO and bring it to school. Thank you!

Thank you parents and teachers who have donated already, we greatly appreciate you!

Fun Fact: Mrs. Leventhal, our amazing Library Media Department Head, stores the collection of JWMT school yearbooks. She showed us some of the yearbooks at the Open House event in November. In 1961 JMWT had a Wonderland by Night Dance, photos below. It will be great if we can make the Winter Wonderland Dance a fun evening for our students! We hope parents can help out their children and donate and/or volunteer.

Cleaning Out Closets?

Please drop off all of our old clothes and textile items to the JMWT textile bins and help raise funds for our school! Spread the word!

Our bins have brought in over $1,000 for just being there!

The bins are located at the front entrance of the school near Cubeta Field for convenient drop off.

We accept all sorts of used textiles (clothes, sheets, shoes, bags, even stuffed animals and throw pillows). Our bins prevent discarded items becoming part of landfills and gives them a second life. You can view more info here

You will be supporting J.M. Wright Technical High School plus this helps our environment! ♻

The JMWT magnets (4" circle) are only $5 each. You can pay via Venmo @JMWrightPFO or make check payable to JMWT PFO.
