March 2026
Thank you to all students who completed STEM Fair projects and displays, and to all volunteers and attending families! It was a great event with students investigating composting, sound waves, volcanoes and more. We also had 82 eggs dropped at the Egg Drop and 55% of them did not break!
Please consider donating any previously loved Wellington Spirit Wear to our Spirit Wear Swap. Drop off any Spirit Wear items in the bin outside the main office beginning March 9; the swap will be held the evening of the Art Walk & Book Fair Family Fun Night on March 24.

All students will experience Missoula Children’s Theatre during their regularly scheduled music time. Everyone is invited to the performances on Saturday, March 14 at Leota Middle School.
Then, watch as the library is transformed into the Scholastic Book Fair from March 23 – 27! All students will have shopping time at the Book Fair during their regularly scheduled library time.

Some Important Emergency Reminders:
If you are volunteering at school and a drill or a true emergency occurs, please remain with your class until you are directed to exit the building. Once outside, all volunteers should check in with Ms. Beavo in the Courtyard (specifically by the table near the Publishing Room). Ms. Beavo will then take attendance so we can also account for all adults at school. If you arrive to school while a drill is happening, please proceed straight to the Courtyard to check in.
Spirit Wear:
Check out our new Spirit Wear designs for this year (designed by a Wellington parent). Spirit Wear is on sale here, and proceeds from sales go back to PTA to support our school grants, programs and events! Donate previously loved Spirit Wear to the PTA; we'll have another free Spirit Wear Swap during the Art Walk & Book Fair Family Fun Night on March 24. The donation bin is in the main office.
Sponsors:
We love sponsors! If your business is interested in sponsoring the PTA, please contact mandy@wellingtonpta.org or fill out the PTA Sponsorship form.
Matching Donations:
Does your company match donations? Search for Wellington Elementary PTA (tax ID #91-1061631) to take advantage of this benefit if offered through your employer.
