Parent's AssociationTHE WILSON SCHOOL PARENTS' ASSOCIATIONThe Wilson School Parents’ Association (PA) consists of all parents and guardians of enrolled students. The PA promotes the interests of the school, provides a forum where parents can become better acquainted, and encourages its members to become involved in the school and its activities. It is led by an executive committee (President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer); standing committee chairs; and the Parents’ Representative Committee, which consists of one representative and alternate from each class. The PA meets as a whole twice yearly. This year’s meetings are Wednesday, September 21 and Wednesday, April 11. All parents are strongly encouraged to attend! Community Events: Cosmic Bowling: Friday, September 30 at Tropicana Lanes The Wilson School Speaker Series: Annie Fox- March 1, 2012 School Picnic: Saturday, May 12, 2012 at Tilles Park Fundraisers: Innisbrook Wrapping Paper: The sale of high-quality wrapping paper and other gift products is the PA’s main fundraiser and takes place in the fall. The proceeds from the 5th and 6th grade class sales support their spring class trips. All other proceeds help fund the PA’s community events and activities.
