Dear Wayside Families,

The Wayside Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to making a difference in the education and quality of life of Wayside Elementary students. We are a stronger organization when all families, teachers and staff  join the PTA. Your membership fees and donations allow us to sponsor more than both in-school and out-of-school activities and events each year that benefit our Wayside students and community.

Your membership is critical to support Wayside this year and into the future. Please join or renew with the attached form or https://waysidepta.membershiptoolkit.com/

Our sincerest thanks go to the families and teachers who have joined, donated, or volunteered so far this year. We look forward to welcoming more families to the PTA and wish all students, teachers, and families a wonderful school year!

Sincerely,

The Wayside PTA Board of Directors
