Wyland Elementary will hold its annual Holiday Secret Shop on Thursday, Dec 6th and

Friday, Dec 7th. Wyland’s multipurpose room will be transformed into a “shopping

mall” where students will have the opportunity to purchase their own special holiday

gifts for family, friends and even the cat and dog.

Individual classes will shop on the following days:

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6THK(am), Raible, Hunter, Walker, Wilson, Fitzpatrick, Burns, Rodriguez

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7THK(pm), Allison, Zdinak, Zang, Rothmeyer, Wisniewski, Snyder, Verplank, Moser

Parent volunteers will help shoppers with their gift selections and then wrap two of

their gifts. We have been shopping since January to provide the students with a wide

variety of quality, reasonably priced gifts. The gifts are priced between $1—$10.

With parental permission, your child may also purchase an item for themselves.

Please designate the dollar amount allowed to be spent.

TREASURER’S NOTE:You may pay with either cash or check. If you pay by check, make it payable to “Wyland PTO.” Please leave the amount blank and attach a note with the maximum

amount you want your child to spend. This eliminates the need to send home large

amounts of change.

Children love doing their own shopping and the Secret Shop is a top fundraiser for our

school. We gratefully appreciate your support.

Any questions, please contact Laura Moser at lauralmoser@comcast.net

Wyland’s Secret Shop

Opening Our Hearts!

Dear Wyland Families, The fourth grade students are organizing a very special community service project by collecting items for the homeless and less fortunate in our area. We will be collecting a variety of items that will be delivered on Christmas morning to a local shelter.

We are collecting TRAVEL SIZE personal care items. Students will decorate and fill bags with these items right before the holiday break. We are asking each grade level to donate different items, so that we have a consistent and wide variety of items for each bag.

Grade Level Items:

Kindergarten: Washcloths and body soap

1st grade: Combs, small brushes and nail care items (emery boards, nail clippers, etc.)

2nd grade: Toothbrushes and toothpaste

3rd grade: Hand sanitizer and hand/body lotion

4th grade: Shampoo and conditioner

5th grade: Tissues, deodorant and gum/candy

*** We would like to have these items by December 14th.

Unfortunately, there are so many people in need this year, but we know that Wyland can help make a difference this holiday season! (Collection boxes will be in the lobby.)

Thank you so much for your help and generosity!

Sincerely, Mrs. Howe, Mrs. Hunter, Mr, Raible, Mrs. Zang and the Wyland Fourth Grade

Wyland Adopt-a-Family Holiday Program

The Parent Teacher Organization will continue the Adopt-a-Family Program this holiday season. In the past years, we have been able to help many families within our school by providing gifts for school-aged children and grocery certificates for families.

If your family has recently been experiencing hard times due to a loss of job/income, illness or any other hardship and you could use some help for the holidays, please feel free to call.

Each request is strictly confidential and Mrs. Burd, our school secretary, is the only person who knows that you are participating in the program. If you would like to be a recipient in this year’s program, please contact Mrs. Burd at 412-492-6345. She will assign you a family code and ask for your school-aged children’s wish lists. The PTO takes over from that point.

Please respond with a “Wish List” from your school-aged children, if you would like to benefit from this program. We would like to fulfill each family’s request by a December 20th pick-up date.

Thank you!
