Thank you to all families who came to our skating party. We had a wonderful turnout! Judging by all the smiles, everyone had a great time!!

Don't forget those gift certificates! They are always an excellent choice.

Who doesn't love a gift certificate?

Log into RaiseRight and purchase those gift certificates and help out your PTO all at the same time.

(Keep in mind this site is always open.)

It’s easy—and it works. By using gift cards to pay for everyday (and not-so-everyday) expenses, you can help us earn percentages back on your purchases. Raise Right will give the percentage back to our PTO for every gift card purchase you make. These can be purchased online and delivered right to your house.

Simply create an account and use our enrollment code to start purchasing gift cards.

Giant foods, Weis, Target and many more!

We would like to thank Shell USA, Inc for awarding us with a $5000 donation. We received this donation because Wellsville Elementary School received the most Shell employee volunteer hours in Pennsylvania during the 2023-2024 school year. We intend to use the donation for the 5th grade legacy gift over the next 5 years and other PTO sponsored events throughout the 2024-2025 academic year. Thank you, Shell USA, Inc for your generous donation and the Book Family for helping us obtain this grant!

We want to shout out a huge THANK YOU to everyone who made our Polar Bear Run a success! Thanks to generous donations sent in by families and friends of our Wellsville Elementary School students, along with the support of wonderful local businesses, we were able to raise just over $17,000. We look forward to many upcoming events for the students and staff in the coming months.

We need YOU!

We hope you will join us this year at our monthly PTO meetings and PTO sponsored events! As you can see, we are a small, but busy group. This is where you come in - we need your help! We need growth within our organization and are seeking volunteers to help us re-establish our organization. The PTO is a team effort and provides an opportunity to be a part of your child’s learning community. Please join us!

Dear WES Families,

Hello!

What is the PTO and who can be a Member? Our active board is made up of an Executive Board Group, Committee Chair Members and other active members. Our Executive officers: Kristen Louder and Jenelle Hood, Co-Presidents; Jillian Roof, Vice President; Briana Smith, Secretary; and Jen Latchaw, Treasurer. Also, we have several other active PTO members who serve as committee chairs and not to mention our wonderful school staff. So, who can be a member? If you’re a father, mother, protector, guardian, and/or a person who teaches or instructs at Wellsville Elementary then you can be a member, and we would love to have you come on board! We want to hear your ideas!!!

PTO Programs & Fundraising

Our primary objective as a PTO is to provide our school with funds, programs, resources, and services that will enrich and maximize the education of every child and to benefit the school. To meet this important objective, we fundraise. Here are a few fundraising programs that we organize throughout the school year: Polar Bear Run, R&K Sub sales, dessert sales, and Restaurant Nights. We have many areas in which we support the students and staff. To highlight a few, they include: Assemblies, Tailgating, Roller Skating, Family Nights at the Annual Holiday Shop and Book Fair,

Family Fun Night, and Field Day.

Become a Volunteer….Why YOU should get involved!

As you can see, we are a small and busy group. This is where you can come in! We need your help, and so do the children. A special thanks to all of our past volunteers for all of their hard work and dedication. Here at WES, we strive for excellence and what better way than to become involved today. We are in need of growth and are seeking volunteers to continue re-establishing the organization. We are planning some exciting events again this year and hope to see new and familiar faces helping to plan these events. The PTO is a team effort in which we cannot succeed on our own.

Sincerely,

Kristen Louder and Jenelle Hood (Co-Presidents), Jillian Roof (VP), Briana Smith (Secretary), and Jen Latchaw (Treasurer)
