Welcome to the 2015-2016 School Year

The Woodrow Wilson PTA would like to welcome you to a new and exciting school year for your student and you.  Our school is a diverse community with over 25 languages represented.  This has allowed a culturally rich environment for all of our students.

We are pleased to be part of your student's school community and hope that you, as parents, will join us in helping continue the great learning environment Woodrow Wilson Elementary provides.

If you would like to be involved with the school, whether it is one day a year, one day a week, or even every day, we would like to welcome you aboard. Please email your name, address, phone number, email address, availability, and preferences to wwilsonpta@gmail.com.

Some of the activities we help with at the school include Vision Screening, SEP dinners, Book Fair, Maturation Program, as well as, Teacher Appreciation week, the school and PTA fundraisers, Box Tops/Labels for Education, and the Jog-A-Thon. We always appreciate when we can provide parent volunteers to the classrooms.

The PTA's Reflection theme this year is "Let Your Imagination Fly" and we would like to encourage students to begin thinking and creating their entries.  Students may submit original items in the categories of 3-D, Dance, Film/Video, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Theater, and Visual Arts.  Entry forms and rules for each category can be found at: http://www.utahpta.org/reflections.
