1. Gratitude for our Corporate Sponsor, Nazareth Bonifacino Law Benefit LLC
The PTA and Wayside Community want to offer a huge thank you to Nazareth Bonifacino Law Benefit LLC for their Community Service Night sponsorship.  With their help, Wayside ES will be able to provide an abundance of Jarod Boxes to sick children needing to stay in Montgomery County hospitals.  The boxes are put together by Wayside families and distributed throughout the year.  Please mark your calendars for Thursday, February 8th to be a part of this heart-warming event!


Nazareth Bonifacino Law Benefit LLC is more than a law firm; we are a force for good in the world. As Maryland’s first Certified Benefit Corporation legal practice, we proudly serve as general counsel to businesses and nonprofits in the Mid-Atlantic region with a dedication to joyful, purposeful work that transforms our communities and drives positive change for the future.

Our founders, Natasha Nazareth and Ginny Bonifacino, are known for their deep expertise, trusted for their intuitive thinking, and appreciated for finessing innovative resolutions so clients thrive.

With expertise in business, intellectual property and education law, we offer clients sophisticated, equitable, affordable counsel at the intersection of law and business. Complete description of services available at www.dmvbusinesslawyers.com.

We continue to look for corporate sponsors!  

  • It’s the Little Things Sponsorship (seeking a $1500 sponsorship to allow students in need to select or design Wayside spirit wear of their choosing)
  • STEM Night (seeking a $1100 sponsorship to bring a science performance to the evening!)
  • Get Moving Sponsorships (seeking $250-$300 sponsorships throughout the school year to allow students in need to participate in after school enrichments)

2. It Takes a Village
Thank you to Judith Mitrani-Reiser, Lauren Berkowitz, Michelle Martin, Aashima Palmer, Gisselle Gutierrez, Jax Stief, The Fox Family, Jaime Edlow and Amy Bernstein for providing and setting up a Jewish New Year Staff Appreciation Snack!  It “beautifully acknowledged, celebrated and explained the New Year.”

We broke the app and brought in over $500 for the Wayside PTA!  Thank you to Helena Lopez for organizing a successful Shake Shack spirit night!  Friends and Wayside faculty enjoyed a gorgeous evening of food and camaraderie.

Our next Wayside Spirit night is Tuesday, October 3rd at Chipotle; see you there!

3. Calendar Update/Chipotle Spirit Night
