Silent Auction surveys are coming home in Friday folders today!
As many of you know, in the past Silent Auction has been a family event and was combined with Movie Night. This year, we are trying something new. Instead of a family event, this year's Silent Auction will be a parent event. It will be held off-site (still making the final decision on venue). We hope that an event without kids will give parents the opportunity to connect with one another, and also offer more time to peruse all the fabulous baskets available without distraction.
Silent Auction Chairs and WPPA board members have already met several times over the summer and fall. We value your feedback as details for this event continue to be finalized. The Chairs have been hard at work planning and will continue to do so for the next several months. Please take a just few minutes to read fill out the survey.
Thanks to Shannon Geier and Carolie Carlson, this year's Chairs, who have already put a ton of time and energy into planning. Silent Auction is an important event, it's one of WPPA's biggest fundraisers ... last year, it brought in over $7k! Please make sure to thank this year's Chairs for stepping up to fill this role, and for all their hard work!
Just a reminder, Silent Auction will be on Friday, March 19.

Candy Bar Sales
An exciting day at Wilshire Park -- the beginning of Candy Bar Sales! Lots of kids walking through the halls with their briefcases of chocolate bars!
More information on the Candy Bar Sales should have come to you via email today. If you did not receive, the information is below:
***********
Hello Wilshire Park Families,
The GOOD news is that we need to place a re-order for additional Candy Bars. This year we ordered candy bars based on the information that came to us on or before the permission form deadline. We had some order forms come in late, so if you did not receive your case or cases of candy bars TODAY we will have additional cases delivered on Tuesday, September 29th. We will be finishing our distribution on that day. If you would still like to participate in the Candy Bar Fundraiser there is still an opportunity to do so! We have extended the date to order until: Monday, September 28 and the due date for the MONEY will be Friday, October 9th.
Again, if you did not receive your candy bars today, the re-order will be delivered to Wilshire Park on Tuesday, September 29. If you are interested in still participating or have any questions of concerns please contact Tara Halverson at: dustintara@msn.com or 612.408.0140.
Sincerely,
Tara Halverson
Candy Bar Chair

Thanks to everyone who is participating in this fundraiser. The kids have fun and we raise lots of money to help supprt Wilshire Park!
A HUGE thanks to this year's chair, Tara Halverson. Tara has spent countless volunteer hours coordinating all the details of Candy Bar Sales and has done a great job! Thanks also to Jan Campbell, Rick Ballot, Sue Kalenze and Jessica Hoylo for their help sorting, labeling and delivery bars to the classrooms!

Welcome Wagon
The first day of school is so exciting! Hope everyone had a great first day back! There are so many new families and Wilshire Park this year. We are hoping to connect with as many as possible.
Mark your calendars and spread the word to new Wilshire families about the WPPA New Parent Welcome. It's on Friday, September 18. We will have a morning event (9:15-10:15 a.m.) with coffee and donuts, and an afternoon event (2:15-3:15 p.m.) with cookies and lemonade. Hope you can come to learn more about WPPA, talk with some WPPA board members and Mrs. Kari Page, and also connect with other new families.
While we don't have an evening event scheduled, we hope the first WPPA meeting will give parents who may not be able to come during the school day, the opportunity to learn more and connect. Just a reminder, that is this coming Monday, September 14 at 7 p.m. in the multi-purpose room. Hope to see you!
