Fourth Grade Playdate

Hey fourth-grade families! Liaison Brenda Keller Burmeister is organizing a casual get together this Monday, 8/30 at Emerald Park. Come if you can around 5-ish. Pack a picnic to eat there or come later just to play & hang out. Connect with other families in the grade before school starts! Come if you can!!

Spirtwear

This year's yearbook cover, designed by WP Parent, Steve Campbell, was a big hit. So much so, we will be using it for the design of this year's Spiritwear tees. Available in both short and long sleeve, we are hoping that we'll have the order forms ready for Meet & Greet.

Second Grade Playdate

Thanks to our second grade liaison, Julie Philbrook for coordinating a play date. Second grade parents, head to Central Park tonight starting at 5:30 to connect with other families in the grade.

No need to RSVP, just show up if it works! Pack a picnic dinner, or come later just to play.

Face Painting?

Do you know how to face paint? And if so, do you want to donate your time at this year's Fall Festival on Saturday, October 9? Or do you know someone who wants to? Contact president@wilshireparents.org to help or inquire. Thanks!

Date Change: Silent Auction

We know ... it's like a bazillion years away. But a quick heads up. The district calendar lists this year's Silent Auction as Friday, March 18. It is actually Saturday, March 19. We'll remind you again as the date draws closer (we're really very considerate about things like that)! ;)

WPPA Welcomes New Families

Are you new to the Wilshire Park community? Come to our New Parent Welcome to find out a bit more about WPPA, connect with other families and chat with Principal Kari Page.

Save the date for Friday, September 17. Join us in the morning (8:30-9:30 a.m for coffee and treats) OR afternoon (3-4 p.m. for lemonade and treats).

Hope to see you!!

Healthy Eating

Almost time to start thinking about packing those lunches! If you have cold-lunch kids, you know how easy it can be to pack the same old thing every day (hello PB &J, carrots and ranch!).

Here's a great site with lots of ideas for healthy lunches. Check it out.

Fall Festival Sponsors

Thank you, THANK YOU to The McCleary Family and Central Avenue Liquors, as well as The Pierce Family Foundation for sponsoring our Fall Festival!

PS: We still need a few more sponsors. If you know of any companies who would like to help us out, please send them our way. THANKS!

Grade Liaisons

Have you heard about our grade liaison program yet? You should've received information in the summer mailing. We are excited to continue this program and hope that it will help families connect!
