VOLUNTEERING
Volunteering is the most
important way that you can support our Windermere family. Please consider donating some of your time to help out at events, at school, or in the classroom. We have a variety of ways that you can help, and opportunities that could fit any schedule. We also sponsor tours of the school work areas for those that are interested. Contact us anytime at [email protected], or contact the volunteer coordinator directly. T-Shirts
Windermere PTO has moved to an online platform for school apparel and will only sale the remaining shirts we have on hand through our Square Space page as sizes are limited. Please see our schools page at https://1stplace.sale/91818 to purchase your new WES spirit wear or maybe a new hat or sweater! Windermere PTO will receive a small commission off each purchase that will help support the PTOs efforts during the year. PTO FAQs
Do I have to pay dues to belong to the PTO? No! Every Windermere parent/guardian is automatically a member of our PTO. Is the PTO just for stay-at-home moms? The PTO is for everyone!
