Wilson Middle School PTA - Wilson School Store 2024-2025 (membershiptoolkit.com)

Here at Wilson we have the amazing privilege of selling spirit wear, and fun items for your students to purchase at our school store during their lunch period. We will be opening the school store every week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. We will need your help as volunteers, to keep the store open throughout the year. If you are interested in volunteering throughout the year, please click on the volunteer form sign up link below. Once you have signed up to volunteer, you will receive an additional email with all the information you will need to run the school store. We hope to see you up there!

The School Store continues to be a fun little shopping treat for the students during their lunch time! The money that is made at the school store is put to good use. It goes directly to Wilson for socials, guest speakers, school improvements, etc. if you would like to volunteer and join the fun we would love to have you!

The PTA works behind the scenes to make so many special things happen for our Rams. And we can't do it without you! Your PTA dues help to sponsor socials, the school store, speakers and more. We also use the dues to show our teachers and staff how much we appreciate them. We hope you join us in reaching 300 and building up our Ram community even more to support our teachers and students.

Hello Wilson Ram Family,

WOW, what a great start to the new school year. We were able to report 209 members for the month of August. That's 188 Regular Members and 21 Lifetime Members. This number will garner our PTA the Head Start Award. We just need 39 more members to reach our next goal, The Early Bird Award and surpass last year's membership.

The Everyone Campaign

PTA is not an exclusive club defined by any one person. We are a vibrant group of people from all walks of life, representing the diversity within our communities. If you care about your community’s schools and students, you belong in PTA.

Joining the PTA doesn't mean you are obligated to attend meetings or that you have to volunteer at every event, even though the meetings are very informative and VOLUNTEERS are always needed. By joining the PTA and paying the yearly dues your PTA is able to implement many programs and supplement the campus with Gifts to School that are not included in its budget.
