Upcoming Events


January

Bingo Night promises fun for the whole family as well as some pretty great prizes! Bingo Night is a sell-out event and pre-registration (free) is required.  Concession and prize donations are needed from our community so that all funds raised at the event benefit the school. Register here for Bingo Night --> https://bit.ly/26PlayBingo WE ARE IN NEED OF PRIZE DONATIONS TO MAKE THIS EVENT SUCCESSFUL!  Please sign up here to donate a prize or concession item --> https://bit.ly/26WWESBINGO If you have any questions or are interested in supporting the event through a larger role, please contact the PTA.


February

Calling all 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders interested in participating in our Wilson Wims Spelling Bee! The bee takes place during the school day with a schedule provided to the families of registered students closer to the event. The 5th grade winner will move on to compete in the Regional Bee scheduled for March 12, 2026 located at Landon School in Bethesda. If your student is interested in participating, please complete this interest form no later than January 19 (one form per student, please). The word list will be sent via email after the 19th. Please don’t delay in registering - due to bee logistics, we are unable to accept late submissions once the deadline has passed.  If you have any questions about the Spelling Bee or would like to support the event through a larger role, please reach out to Ashley Lewis.


Join us for a new event aimed at fun for kids AND a parents’ night out! On Friday, February 13 from 6-8pm in the APR, Global is teaming up with the Wims PTA to provide free childcare for all potty trained children so that you can have a night out!! To make this night even more fun, you may purchase your child’s very own Wims mascot stuffie that we will help your children put together (similar to build-a-bear)! Stuffies come with a certificate, custom Wims t-shirt, and a wishing message insert, are $35, and must be purchased by January 17, 2026 to ensure they are received in time for the event. 


We have also teamed up with The Clarks Lodge - just mention Wilson Wims ES Parents’ Night Out between 6-8pm and you will receive a 15% discount!

March

65% of today's students will find themselves working in careers that do not exist yet. We believe in providing students with opportunities through Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Music. At the Expo, students can enjoy their fellow Wildcats' amazing demonstrations, enjoy interactive Lego robotics, watch musical and dance performances, and complete an art project with Mrs. Daniell. If you have any questions or are interested in serving on the S.T.E.A.M. Committee, please contact Anusha Moodliar. 


April

Join us for our final book fair of the school year - and it's "buy one, get one free!"  Volunteers are needed to give our students the best book fair. All volunteers during school hours must have completed the online Recognizing Child Abuse and Neglect Training via ParentVUE. Any volunteer spot not filled may result in the cancellation of those hours. If you have any questions about the book fair or want to support the event in a larger capacity, please contact Danni at president@wwespta.org.


May

For one week straight, the PTA engages in honoring our hardworking teachers and staff with themed lunches, treats, and activities. Join our outstanding Teacher Appreciation Committee with your own fresh ideas and help us make the next Appreciation Week the best ever! Please contact us at pta@wwespta.org if you'd like to help with Appreciation.


Come one, come all, to the greatest show on earth! The variety show features student acts from singing and dancing to karate, yoga & more and takes place at Hallie Wells Middle School. 

** Our talented Variety Show Chairs are heading to middle school next year and the PTA will need a new Chair(s) for this beloved event. No experience is necessary, but the best transition would be for the new Chair(s) to volunteers alongside the current Chairs this spring. If you are interested in helping to save the Variety Show, please reach out to the PTA. The Variety Show would benefit most from a Chair(s) with several years remaining at Wilson Wims.


June

Invite that special grown-up in your life (mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, neighbor, or friend) to join you for a special breakfast honoring their wonderful presence in our lives. Donuts, fruit, coffee, tea, and juice will be served in the APR from 8-9. Attendance is free, but pre-registration is required.


Celebrate our amazing 5th graders as they get ready to enter the next phase in their lives: middle school! A special committee (comprised of non-5th grade families) is needed to make this event memorable for our rising middle schoolers. At Wims, we have started a wonderful "pay it forward" tradition for this event.  We look to our 4th grade (K-3 is welcome too!) families to volunteer for this event, with the hope that next year's 4th grade families will do the same for your 5th grader. Once a Wildcat, Always a Wildcat! 


This is a special event using the proceeds raised during Bingo Night!  Our 5th graders and their families are invited to enjoy an afternoon on the blacktop with grilled hot dogs & refreshments for the students, a water balloon toss, and a parents v. students kick-ball game! This event takes place during the school day and is for 5th grade students only.


Past Events:


August

The PTA is proud to be part of the WWES Open House.  Stop by to see us from 11am to 12:15pm in front of the school. Meet the Board, join the PTA, and pick-up some Spirit Wear to wear proudly throughout the year.  


September

Bring your blankets, camping chairs, and pillows and join us for a movie under the stars. "Doors" open at 6pm for you to secure your spot with concessions up for grabs. The movie will begin at dark, at approximately 7pm and the concession stand will close near the end of the movie. Cash and credit cards accepted. 


October

Fun Run is one of our largest fundraisers of the year, responsible for a large part of the PTA budget. The event takes place during the school day in the field behind the blacktop. 

**  HELP WANTED! The PTA is searching for a new Chair(s) for the Fun Run. No experience is necessary, but the best transition would be for the new Chair(s) to volunteer alongside the current Chair for 1-2 years. If you are interested in keeping the tradition of Fun Run alive, please contact the PTA. The Fun Run would benefit most from a Chair(s) who has several years remaining at Wilson Wims.


** New this year: Join us from 3-5 in the Wims Bus Loop for a family-friendly trunk or treat! Music & dancing, food trucks, spirit wear sales & more.


The PTA is proud to support classroom fall celebrations with a fall goodie/ snack bag.


November

Grandparents are invited to join their Wildcat(s) for a pancake & chicken sausage breakfast, photo opportunity, exclusive shopping hours at the Book Fair, and a brief Meet & Greet in the classroom! This is a free event sponsored by the PTA through funds raised through the Fun Run.  The event takes place from 8-9:30 AM in the All Purpose Room (cafeteria). Grandparents Day is looking for a new chair! For more information or to join our team, please reach out to pta@wwespta.org 


Donate a pie or several pies for this Wims tradition!  Our goal is to send each & every Wims staff member home with a delicious pie for their Thanksgiving Holiday. Pies can be store-bought or made with love and can be any variety. 


December

Our students love Book Fair and it's a PTA favorite as well. Help is needed in setup and in the Book Fair throughout the duration of this event. Day & evening shifts are available. Volunteers are critical to the success of Book Fair. Please reach out to Danni Ibarra to hear more and find out how you can become more involved in this important event! 


Multicultural Night is a wonderful event celebrating our diverse Wildcat Community through an evening of cultural enlightenment, diverse foods, art, artifacts, and a fabulous fashion show!  Our Wims families are proud to share their cultures by signing up to host a table containing items and artifacts, tasty food, and delicacies. Students will entertain you with a dazzling fashion show featuring their traditional clothing!  If you have any questions about Multicultural Night or would like to support the event through a larger role, please reach out to Natalia Winffel.
