One of the biggest and most impactful ways WSE PTO gives back to our school is through our annual grant program. With donations raised through various fundraising programs such as "Invest in WSE", store sales, Fun day fundraiser, etc... WSE PTO have provided over $90,000 in teacher grants at WSE since our doors opened in 2017 - including playground equipment, STEM resources, grade level curriculum updates, classroom enhancements, and so much more!

 

Grants Has Helped Provide:

 

 

 

 WSE's new Gaga Ball Pit! PTO approved coach Wade's Grant Application of $4,000 in May 2023 and the gaga pit was installed November 2023. Our kids are loving having another way to play and get their bodies moving during recess and PE!

 

 

 

 

Front facing shelves have been added batch by batch to the WSE library with the help of PTO grants. Ms. Vining shared, "I wanted to share photos of the effect the front facing shelves have had. Having books front facing is the best way for young students to browse. It enables them to explore the library collection easily and independently."

 

 

2nd Grade Mandarin social studies and science books from 23-24 grant added to WSE Library collection.
