Auction Items – Bidding Closes 5/20

posted May 14, 2013 By
Did you miss the Silent Auction?  It’s your last chance to bid on amazing auction items – trips, teacher outings, art and more at reduced prices in the FINAL SALE.
No auction items caught your eye this year?  You can still give to the school through several directed giving opportunities:
  • Join in the amazing effort lead by the Kit-Zenga Family to bring a Garden Kitchen to Wonderland.  In case you missed it, the generous donations at the Live Auction, matched by the Kit-Zenga Family, have brought close to our goal.  Be a part of this incredible project.
  • Help build grade-level Classroom Libraries for your child.  Donate directly to the Classroom Library project and provide your child with the resources necessary to support and advance their reading instruction.
  • Have you ever been to the playground on a Saturday?  Then you should donate now to the Saturday playground and help raise the money needed to keep the playground open on Saturdays for all of us to enjoy.
And, don’t forget to buy your Wonderland t-shirt by Chaser.  They are selling out fast and they totally rock!

Big Sunday on SATURDAY, May 4th

posted April 27, 2013 By

Big Sunday is coming to Wonderland School and we need your family to help! If you’re not familiar with the organization http://bigsunday.org – they promote the largest weekend of volunteerism in SoCal. But it’s not just about community service, it’s about community building.

We know that everyone has a busy schedule, but we really encourage you get involved in a project. Giving back and helping others is a great life lesson to be learned at a young age and there is no better way than to lead by example.

Every grade will organize a project for their families to participate in on Saturday, May 4th from 12pm-4pm. We will promote to our entire community and ask everyone to come down and help. Grades can choose a charity to donate to (if one isn’t already designated) or we can suggest one.

The following are the age-appropriate projects that were recommended by the leaders at Big Sunday.

  • Kindergarten – collect and sort books and toys
  • 1st Grade – sova bags with personalized cards
  • 2nd Grade – decorate flower pots for retirement homes
  • 3rd Grade – lemonade stand
  • 4th Grade – sports drive and/or bake sale, sorting of schoolwide donated items
  • 5th Grade – car wash and sorting of schoolwide donated items

There will be other events happening at school that afternoon that will need volunteers for:

Thank you for participating and showing our kids what a great community can do when we work together!

Please let us know if you have any questions. Otherwise, please have your parent volunteers email us right away for details.

Best,
