We had such a great week at Wilmot!  We started the week with fun Halloween festivities including our parade around the bus loop.  Our Halloween parade has a long-standing tradition and I look forward to it every year.  Thank you to all of the parents, grandparents and other spectators who came out to cheer for our kids in costumes and to everyone who stayed to make the parties a success.  The involvement of our parents and community is part of what makes Wilmot such a great place to learn and grow!

The week ended with some excitement as well - just getting to school was an adventure on Friday due to the closure of Buffalo Park Road.  Thank you for your patience and trust as we responded to a fluid situation.  Rest assured that your child's safety is always our first priority!  

On Monday, we will be meeting in Den Groups first thing in the morning.  We will also gather to honor our veterans on Friday, November 11th.  Please see below for additional information about these and other events below.

Thanks for your support!

This year Wilmot will be partnering with the American Legion to write letters to homeless veterans in Colorado.  There are at least 600 homeless veterans living in the Denver area.  The American Legion is preparing care packages to be delivered to these veterans in honor of their service to this country.  Wilmot students will be writing letters of thanks that will be included in the care packages.  On Veteran’s Day, we will have an assembly in the morning where students will read some of the letters they’ve written and honor some local veterans.  If someone in your family is a veteran who would like to attend, please reach out to Mrs. Benton to let her know and to receive additional details about the assembly.  linda.benton@jeffco.k12.co.us.

As Wilmot Elementary PTA, we enrich your child’s learning, support classroom teachers, and enhance the entire student body with innovative tools and technologies.  To do this, we throw parties with a purpose, take traditions and create memories, raise money to make a difference and engage in programs that create powerful connections to the school. We are a team of parents who collaborate with school staff, working together to create a culture that celebrates our entire community. And it’s our unique mountain community where our neighbors are our teachers and our parents are their supporters that is the key to our success. So whether your child attends an event or joins a program, know that the PTA is here to make a difference for every child at Wilmot Elementary in Evergreen, Colorado.
