Happy March from the West Boylston Middle High School PTA!  Last night was a busy night at the Middle/High School!   Up front and in the gym, it was the Lions taking on Nashoba for Boys Basketball.  In the auditorium it was the Middle School Play Rehearsal.  In the Library/Media Center a school training session was being held, and WAY BACK in the Teacher's Lounge the PTA was having it's bi-monthly meeting!  If you drove by the parking lot you were probably wondering what was going on!!

Much is happening with the MHS PTA.  First, the spring fundraiser, Butter Bread Pastry and Sweet Crumbs Cookie Dough, is now in full swing.  Order forms were sent home with students las week.  If you didn't receive one, see the attached order form below.

Second, the middle school play, "Beauty and the Beast, Jr." continues with rehearsals with only about a month left until show time!  It's really all starting to come together!!  Props are being ordered, costumes are being made, and advertising has begun!  Please "Be Our Guest" for this production on April 8 and 9 at 7:00 pm.  Tickets will be available at the door for $5/person.  

Third, the PTA is already looking to next year.  At last night's meeting, Career Day 2016 - 2017 was discussed.  The planning for next  October's Career Day is in the early stages.  Due to the graduation of the coordinator, Liz Baldi, and her daughter, Amanda, Donna Beaulac is now at the helm of this great event.  If you wish to participate in any way in Career Day 2016 next October, please contact the PTA at wbmhspta@wbschools.com.

Next, the PTA Scholarship committee will be meeting in the next few weeks to read scholarship applications that will be given out at graduation.  If you have a senior that is interested in one of these 4 scholarships, you must be a PTA member and have participated in at least one of our fundraisers.  The Butter Braid Pastry and Sweet Crumbs Cookie Dough fundraiser that is currently going on counts towards this fundraiser requirement.  In addition, the purchase of a Lions Logo Blanket or Entertainment Book App Code for $20 each counts towards the fundraiser requirement.  Please email any questions or orders for the blankets/app codes to wbmhspta@wbschools.com.

The PTA Board will have some positions to fill next school year.  Board elections will take place at our next meeting on May 3.  If you are interested in working with a great team to help support our great school, teachers and students, please email your interest to wbmhspta@wbschools.com.

Keep a look out for a spring textile drive.  As you begin cleaning out closets for spring, think of the PTA.  We will be holding another textile drive in conjunction with  Millbury Textile Recycling.  What kind of textiles are we looking for???  ANY!!!  Clothing, curtains, bedding, towels, shoes, etc.  All items are recycled and repurposed by Millbury Textile Recycling.  Date is still TBD, but keep watch of both our Blog and Facebook pages for information.

Lastly, the PTA would like to thank you all for a fabulous year so far!  We have had a record amount of memberships this year and, as a result, have been able to support our teachers with teacher grants for the very first time in a number of years.  

Thank you again from the West Boylston Middle/High School PTA!  Happy Spring!
