In response to the wildfires in California, The Wilmot Community Action Team is collecting cash donations to support Mercy Chefs. This fabulous organization travels to places that have been hit by natural disasters. They have food trucks that provide free, hot meals for people who have lost everything. They also provide boxes of meals. They are currently in Los Angeles, feeding thousands of families. This video provides more information about all the things they do.

• Each morning, from Friday, January 17- Friday, January 31, the CATs will set up donation containers for each classroom in the front hallway. 

• Kids will put bills - no coins, please - into their classroom's container. 

• The class that raises the most money will receive a popsicle party and an extra recess.

Thank you for your generosity in supporting all those who have lost everything from these devastating fires. 

Where the Wild Things Are drawing inspiration

Dear Wilmot Families,

Some students are currently engaged with Mrs. Marcus in exciting "Passion Projects" where they are exploring their deepest interests and developing real-world skills. The projects are diverse and inspiring!

To help our students thrive, we need your support! We are seeking passionate and enthusiastic parents to volunteer as one-on-one mentors to guide students in developing their project ideas. 

Here's how you can help:

• Provide personalized guidance: Work directly with a student to help them overcome challenges, refine project goals and create a final product.

• Offer valuable feedback: Share your expertise and provide constructive criticism to help students improve their projects.

• Encourage and inspire: Offer words of encouragement and support to help students stay motivated and persevere.

No prior experience is necessary! We're looking for individuals with a passion for learning and a desire to make a positive impact on the lives of our students.

To volunteer, use this link to sign up for a time slot! All slots are from 8:05-8:55 am. Even a small amount of time can make a big difference in a student's life. We are grateful for any time you can spare!
