WJJMS PTO- Celebrates Staff Appreciation Week

Staff Appreciation Week begins May 4, and the PTO is hard at work planning some surprises for our wonderful educators and team members.

If you would like to contribute, you can shop our Amazon Wish List or send a donation via PayPal to @wjjmspto. Envelopes with monetary donations marked "PTO" can also be dropped off at the front office.
Thank you for helping us support the people who support our students every day

The PTO Needs You!

Our PTO is looking for new members (and a few board members!) as our 8th grade families head off to high school.

A few things to know: no dues, everyone is welcome, and your time is your own: volunteer as little or as much as you want.

We're here to support the school, our staff, and our kids. That's it. Come hang out with us!

wjjmsptopresident@gmail.com for questions or more details.
