The Wilmot Word: November 8, 2024

The Wilmot PTO is excited to announce a winter spirit wear sale featuring the popular Cubby in the Castle collection, matching the Wilmot staff spirit wear! All proceeds will support Operation Snowflake, an initiative of 109 Gives Back and Wilmot’s Team Give philanthropy club, aimed at providing holiday gifts for local families. This district-wide Holiday Gift Drive ensures that families in our community can share in the joy of the season with special gifts to unwrap. Stay tuned for more details on how to contribute to Operation Snowflake and support those in need this holiday season!

Hi Wilmot Families,

We are so excited to offer these special fun days to celebrate our Wilmot community. Thursdays will be an optional flannel day from November to March. Flannels are cozy shirts, pants, and other items that keep you warm in the winter months. Students should not feel that they need to buy anything. Instead, they can get creative with items already in their homes.

Thank you,

Wilmot Student Council
