Wheeler Staff Appreciation Week 2023
The first week of May (May 1 - 5) is Staff Appreciation Week. PTSA and Magnet Foundation have a few things planned to celebrate our amazing staff. Your generous donations last year provided each teacher, staff support, and bus driver with a gift card during Staff Appreciation Week. We are hoping to do that again this year and we need your help. Please review the signup genius to provide a $25 gift card OR for your convenience, we can also accept monetary donations through PTSA Member Hub and a PTSA member will purchase your gift card (there is approximately a $1.50 service charge). Donate under Teacher and Staff Appreciation. Any amount is greatly appreciated and only your name is needed when signing up under Monetary Donations (If we do not collect enough gift cards for each staff, we will do a drawing for each gift card donated). Gift card suggestions are, but not limited to: Walmart, Target, Amazon, restaurants, department stores, gas cards-anything you think a staff member would enjoy. Please bring gift cards by Monday, April 24th to the Wheeler front office attn: Judy Collins or contact Lori Sweeney at lorisweeney@comcast.net to arrange a different drop off situation.

We are preparing to host our Reality U Financial Literacy Experience on October 12th, 2022.

Students imagine their life as a 26-year-old and complete an online lifestyle survey, including questions about their occupation, marital status, use of credit cards, and current grade point average. We are looking for volunteers to serve in one of our twelve booths that represent services and/or products that adults typically must purchase or consider each month. If you are interested in participating please click the sign-up genius link below to select a time to help facilitate this experience for our 9th-grade Wildcats.
