June 2025
The summer countdown is on! As the year winds to a close, we would like to thank our volunteers who made this year’s programs and events possible for our Wolverines. We couldn’t have done it without you!
Congratulations & thank you to our 2025-2026 PTA Board Members who were voted in at the May 13 General Meeting:
The PTA Board is starting to plan for the 2025-2026 school year and we still have several open lead roles that need to be filled. Please review this SignUp Genius, and see if any roles interest you! Also, if you have feedback for us, please submit it via this Survey, which is still open for your comments and suggestions.
Stay in touch with us over the summer! Follow us on Facebook or Instagram, and watch out for our new website, www.wellington.givebacks.com, which will launch later this year (help get it ready to go!). Until then, keep reading for information on this month’s happenings.

June 4: Kindergarten Sneak Peek, 9:30-10:30am
Calling all incoming Kindergarteners! Current Kindergarteners will lead incoming Kindergarteners on a tour of the classrooms. This is a wonderful opportunity for your kiddo to explore and ease any fears they might have about coming to Wellington! While the kids are on the tour, parents will stay in the courtyard to chat with our Principal, and PTA & PACE teams.

Get ready for an evening of cultural exploration and connection! Please consider sharing a country at the event. Kids will receive a “passport” to travel from table to table, discovering different cultures through interactive displays, fun activities, or food. We also have performances by Flight Feathers Ballet, New Age Flamenco Guitarist, and Mr. Schoenfeldt.
We need help setting up and running the event! Please sign up to help using this SignUp Genius: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508044AAFA72EA6FA7-57102010-webnight

June 13: Field Day, 12:45-3:30pm (volunteers needed)
Lots of help is needed to host a memorable Field Day outside for our Wolverines! This year, all students grades K-5 will have the same Field Day time, and they will be able to choose activities rather than rotating through stations. We need volunteers from 12:45-3:30pm to set up, monitor activities such as the Hula Hoop Pass, 3-legged race, and pool noodle hockey.
