WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!








LOOKING TO GET INVOLVED? 






The Maggie Walker PTSA is looking for a few good volunteers to chair three committees that support three groups of people who make MLWGS the amazing place that it is: teachers and staff,  students,  and alumni. Here is a brief description:

  • Staff Appreciation: Plan special activities and events to let our teachers and staff know how much we appreciate them.
  • Student Appreciation: Organize special treats to let our students know we are supporting and cheering for them.
  • Homecoming Picnic: Work with the school to plan a picnic to welcome our alumni back during homecoming (Fall).

Not sure you’re quite ready to chair a committee on your own? No problem – find a friend to co-chair with you. Half the effort, twice the fun.

Interested in helping out? Contact Sarah Van Dam.




SCRIP 
FUNDRAISER






SCRIP fundraiser: Make a difference by supporting MLWGS at no extra cost to you for purchases you already make!

The 2018/2019 MLWGS school year is starting and so is the SCRIP Program. Sponsored by the MLWGS PTSA, this easy-to-use fundraiser allows parents and other school supporters to purchase gift cards for their favorite stores and restaurants with MLWGS receiving a percentage of the sales. The first order will be due by noon on November 9- just in time for holiday gift cards, shopping, dining and traveling needs. Cards will be delivered the following week. Please think ahead of gift cards you may need for the holidays. Scrip cards can also be used in a variety of places you already shop for your everyday expenses. You can view all card options by going to https://www.scripzone.comcertificatelist.aspx.  If you have a special order not listed on our order form but on the Scrip website,  select the “other” option on the order form and list the store and denomination you want. Thanks for your support of our school community!
