A Letter from the President

Welcome to the 2024-25 school year at Wakefield Elementary School!

As the President of the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all our returning families and a heartfelt greeting to those who are new to our school community. We are excited about the upcoming year and look forward to working together to make it a successful and enriching experience for everyone.

Our PTA is dedicated to fostering a strong partnership between parents, teachers, and students. We believe that collaboration and open communication are key to creating a nurturing environment where our children can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. This year, we have an exciting array of programs, events, and initiatives planned that aim to support our students and enhance their school experience.

We invite you to become an active member of our PTA. Your involvement, whether through volunteering, attending meetings, or participating in events, is invaluable and greatly appreciated. Together, we can create a vibrant and supportive school environment that encourages our children to reach their full potential.

Please mark your calendars for monthly PTA meetings. These gatherings are great opportunities to meet the PTA board, learn about our plans for the year, and share your ideas and feedback.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to our school community. I am looking forward to an amazing year ahead and to working with all of you to make this the best school year yet.

We encourage you to stay connected with us through our PTA website, newsletters, Facebook and Instagram for updates and announcements. Together, we can make a difference!

Let’s make this a fantastic year!

Warmly,

Naomi Weir
