Dear Spartan families,
Hopefully, by now, you've managed to settle into the school-year routine and are ready for the PTSA's first meeting of the year!
The PTSA is back and we would love to have you join us to support our school.
We have a number of important items in this first PTSA newsletter of 2026-2027:
- PTSA Membership Drive
- New PTSA officers elected for the 2025-2026 year
- PTSA Meeting 9/15!
- PTSA spotlight: Spartan Booster Club
Our first PTSA meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Sep 15 at 730pm via Zoom (you can register for the meeting here).
What to watch for:
- "Stock the Breakroom" coming soon!
- Restaurant Night in October
PTSA Membership Drive -- please help us top 400 members!
-
How do I join? Follow this link to our Givebacks (formerly Memberhub) store and select the option that is best for you: https://wshs.givebacks.com/
store - I joined last year / this past spring. Do I need to join again? YES! Our membership year lasts from July 1 - June 30, so if you haven't joined for the current year in the last few weeks, please join for this year!
-
Why should I join? This is our school. We can keep it a great school by doing our part, or we can hope others do it for us. Be part of the people doing their part, and help support an organization that advocates for our children and schools! See our list of other reasons at https://wshsptsa.net/join/
membership/ - If I join, will I be asked to do things? You can just pay your dues and not do anything else if you want. Totally up to you. We'll share volunteer opportunities and opportunities for donations to teacher appreciation and other events, but joining doesn't commit you to doing anything else. The most important step is joining. I hear too often "I didn't join because I don't have time to do things." Don't let that stop you. If that's the case, we're happy to just take your financial support-- we'll put it to good use!
