Audrey Miller, Jenn Murphy, and Amber Porter our ASE extraordinaires for operating and managing our ASE programming this fall!

The PTO Board is planning for the 2024-25 school year! Thanks to those who have reached out! It’s time to start building our volunteer village for next year. We have many board members graduating from Wellington which opens up spaces for new volunteers to join us, either as a board member or as a program/event specific coordinator. Show your interest here!

Here is a list of some of our open positions for the 2024-25 school year: 

• Community Events Coordinator

• Directory Coordinator

• ASE Coordinator

If you are interested in one of these roles and would like to learn more, please email Aisha and Andreina at: wellingtonptopresidents@gmail.com

• Important note to all volunteers: Everyone will receive a CORI form (one per household - feel free to make a copy) in your Communications Folder. If you can support the PTO and would like to volunteer, CORI forms are required for every parent volunteer. You must bring the completed form and a form of ID to the Wellington office to complete the process. CORIs are valid for three years! We highly recommend you get these completed early in the school year.

We ask that you consider a donation to the Wellington Fundraising Appeal. So far this school year, these funds have been used to reimburse teachers for their classroom supplies, purchase school supplies and grocery gift cards for Wellington students and families in need and fund school wide initiatives like new sports equipment, music stands, and storage sheds for both blue and green playgrounds. 

If you have a corporate or workplace match, this is an amazing way to DOUBLE your impact.
