WELLINGTON ELEMENTARY PTA       

HELPING HANDS SERVICE CLUB 2022-2023 

“SHARE A RECESS, SHARE A SMILE”—JOIN OUR KINDNESS CAMPAIGN! 

First Friday of Each Month in the Gym During Lunch Recess 

Our mission is to provide opportunities for Wellington students to become more conscious of the needs of others and to serve our community in positive ways.  Simply put, we hope to care for and share with those in need in our local community.   Helping Hands will meet the first Friday of each month during lunch recess in the courtyard.  The club is open to all Wellington students K-5 and is sponsored by the PTA so there is no cost to participants.  Students may attend month to month, or only one month, or to their choosing.  Parents are also invited and needed to help us on project days. We will have a Helping Hands collection bin for donations by the school office and will collect new and gently used stuffed animals, books, toys and trinkets throughout the year.  We will also collect clothing donations by class for Threads and Treads, our local clothing bank for Northshore students, these donations will be collected by class.

• Make a difference in someone’s life
