A Message from Your PTO President

HAPPY NEW YEAR! We hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and the time off. We are excited to start the new year and have many great activities planned.

The first event of the year is our combined Skate night with family and friends from both Steuart Weller Elementary and Seldens Landing Elementary on January 4th from 6:10pm- 7:10pm at the Ashburn Ice House. Join us for a night of fun!

Also, right around the corner is our Teacher/Staff Appreciation luncheon on January 9th. Please remember to bring in your delicious food items to show how much we appreciate them.

Finally, we are in the midst of planning one of the biggest events of the year – the Wild Cat Winterfest. We will need every family’s help to make it a memorable event for our children. There will be moon bounces, games, raffles, cake walk and lots and lots of fun! It will be a night to remember. Avoid lines and buy your tickets ahead of time. They will be on sale from 1/6-1/23.
