Welcome Back!
I am Michelle Dingle, I will be your PTA president for the year and I have an 8th grader at Wood. The PTA Vice President is Katherine Fiske, who has a 7th grader. Katherine and I are looking forward to supporting both the Wood families and staff. The rest of the Board (listed below) have already been working on supporting the Wood community by providing ample communication and support, as well as fundraising opportunities. In addition, we are focusing on providing more SSL hour opportunities. If you are wondering what you can do to support the PTA and by extension, your community, we ask that you join the PTA as well as support our fundraisers. Our fundraising can close the gap between county funding and actual cost of equipment/materials, staff support/appreciation, field trip support, PTA-sponsored events for the students, and so much more. If you have any questions, please email, ebwoodpta@gmail.com with a keyword such as, “6th grade”, “SSL”, etc, and the appropriate chair member will get back to you. We look forward to meeting you!
