October Month of Giving
The October Month of Giving is here! The Family Association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and all donations to us are tax-deductible and eligible for corporate matching. Our mission is to provide More and Better to the Willows Prep community, and contributions from our parents are essential for making this happen. We spend thousands of dollars each month on student events, teacher appreciation, and projects such as ceramics, theater sound improvements, and more! Our students will appreciate gifts of any size, and the money will be well spent. Curious about our budget? Click here to see how we spend our money. Questions? Email Brooke Stockmann fundraising@willowsprepfamily.org.
Diwali Cultural Celebration
Our first parent-sponsored cultural celebration of the year is Diwali! This year’s celebration is set for Friday, November 6th. Parent volunteers are in charge of organizing the event, including any food, decorations, and other celebratory aspects. Please email Samantha at events@willowsprepfamily.org if you are interested in leading or participating in this year’s event!
Popcorn Wednesdays
On Wednesdays, parents volunteer to make popcorn that can be purchased as a fun snack after school on Wednesdays. You can purchase a 10 bags for $10 popcorn pass for your student here; day-of purchases are $2/bag, cash only, so pre-purchasing is a big savings.
We need more parent volunteers to help with this activity, no experience necessary! Please sign up here to be a Popcorn Parent!
Family Association General Meeting
Three times per year, we hold a General Meeting to update parents on the status of our accounts; fundraising; activities; volunteering; and future plans. Included in the meetings is a brief update from Mr. Stearns, our Head of School. Our first General Meeting of the year will be held on Thursday, October 15th at 6 PM on Teams. The agenda and Teams link will be available in next week’s newsletter. Please email Meredith at president@willowsprepfamily.org with any questions!
