PTA BOARD NOMINATING COMMITTEE NEEDED - DEADLINE FEBRUARY 24
It is that time of year to look ahead to the new PTA Board Officers that will take over in May. In order to start this process, we need members to join the Nominating Committee. The nominating committee is one of the most important committees in our PTA unit.
- The nominating committee's job is to find members who would be a good fit for each Board position available.
- After someone has been found for each position, the committee presents this info during the March Membership meeting.
- A vote will occur, and whoever takes over the new Board position will have the month of April and the last meeting of the year to get a head start.
The Nominating Committee position requires a very short commitment. If you would like to participate in this aspect of finding new PTA board members, please contact Rima at volunteers@wyattpta.org by February 24th.
Do you know someone that goes above and beyond to support our children at Wyatt and embodies the PTA philosophy to "back the future"? We are looking for nominations for the prestigious PTA Life Membership Award. Individuals that have dedicated countless hours and service to our students are what makes Wyatt so amazing! If you know someone that you feel should be recognized, please fill out this NOMINATION FORM and email it to membership@wyattpta.org by February 3rd. Our committee will review all nominations and the winners will be announced at the PTA General Membership Meeting in February. Thank you so much!

JOIN THE AWARD-WINNING WYATT ELEMENTARY PTA FOR 2022-2023!
Support Wyatt Elementary students and teachers by showing that you value your child’s education by joining the PTA. Your membership helps pay for student programs, parent education programs, teacher resources, student socials, and so much more!

This year we are striving to have one member of the PTA for every student of the school. By joining, you are helping us give every child a voice on issues directly affecting their school experience. Please help us reach our goal!
Single Membership is ONLY $14.50 for the ENTIRE 2022-2023 school year; Family Membership is $19.
