1. Town Hall with the Principal on January 14  

Principal Holly Hill will hold a Town Hall with parents on Thursday, January 14 to discuss the instructional model for a partial in-person return. A brief PTA general membership meeting will also take place during the Town Hall. More information will come directly from Ms. Hill.

2. Wayside Spirit Night at Shake Shack on Wednesday, January 13 

We’d like to thank all Wayside families for participating in our first spirit night at Gregorio’s Trattoria in November!  Our second Wayside spirit night will be at  Shake Shack in Cabin John Shopping Center on January 13. Orders will be made on the Shake Shack app, web, or kiosk. Stay tuned for more details closer to the date!

3. Get Ready for the Wayside Virtual Talent Show!

It’s time to get ready for Wayside’s 2021 Virtual Talent Show! If you have a special talent you want to share, sign up here by January 29 so that we know how many acts to expect. Students will submit video clips of their acts, which will become part of a Talent Show video. More complete information will be sent in late January to parents who sign up. Contact Melissa Adler at programs@waysidepta.org with questions. We can’t wait to see what talented students Wayside has this spring!

4. Seeking Volunteers for Nominating Committee

The PTA Board is seeking at least three PTA members to serve on the Nominating Committee, which will recruit the slate for the 2021-2022 PTA Board. The timeframe for the committee’s work is February/March. If you are interested in serving on this committee, please contact Jennifer Nordin, PTA President, at president@waysidepta.org.

5. Enrichment Activities on Kiddo

The Wayside PTA is collaborating with Kiddo, an enrichment activity online marketplace developed by a Wayside parent. Kiddo provides a central place for families to easily explore, register for, and manage their kid’s enrichment activities, while helping local enrichment providers reach more families directly. Families can also register for free tutoring/learning support services offered by MCPS student-led programs. Kiddo is free to use for all families and enrichment providers. Check out Kiddo here.

Your generosity helped a lot of kids!
