• Tonight, January 17, our lead designer, Michelle Mathis, will be at Wickliffe all day meeting with staff and students as a way to better understand our playground and begin gathering input and ideas for the design.
  
  
• We are inviting all families, community members, and children to an evening event to get a greater sense of what the community is hoping for too.

• A welcome from Mrs. Szabrak's class
  
• Committee updates
  
• Principal update
  
• Financial update (Where does the money go? Presentation)
  
• Volunteer opportunities (committee and officer positions)

Wickliffe's After School Discovery classes begin today, Tuesday, January 17. We are still in need of parent volunteers to help make sure students get where they need to go after the ASD session ends. This is a short 30-minute volunteer slot from 3:40-4:10, and it is so important for the safety of the kids. If you are coming to pick up your child anyway, please consider staying a few extra minutes to help make sure everyone gets to their adult safely. Even just signing up for a single session would help out. Sign up here.

Purchase one of the below two passes to SHED Group Fitness and have 10% of the proceeds go to Wickliffe PTO. Offer must be purchased before January 31, 2023, and redeemed on or before February 28, 2023.
