Dear WMS Parents and Guardians!

We are so excited to begin this year with you and wanted to take a quick moment to introduce ourselves as the new WMS PTO Board. Your co-Presidents for the 2023-2024 school year are Carina Bellmann & Robyn Feldblum. We were both on the Board last year and have learned quite a bit about WMS and our families. We are very excited to take on a larger roll as co-presidents and look forward to a bright year ahead.

Our fabulous Board will be comprised of:

• Kruti Ramani - VP of Grade Level Reps
• Darlene Carter - VP of Communications
• Toni Ann Feeny - VP of Mini Grants
• Jennifer Molina - VP of Spiritwear
• Sumitra Nicholson - Secretary
• Kim Damiano - Treasurer

Our Board includes women from each of the elementary schools and they all bring new ideas and energy to the coming year. We will meet once a month in the APR of WMS and all are encouraged to attend so we can benefit the most kids possible, there are lots of opportunities for volunteers and we welcome new ideas to continue to make our school great. Mark your calendar for our first meeting: Tuesday, September 19th at 9am.

Our PTO can't be great without the help and membership of all our families! We depend on the membership fees and generous donations of our Warren families to continue to plan amazing events for our students & faculty. Your donations are used to support our students in and out of the classroom and enrich their time at Warren Middle School. Membership fees have been set at $60 a child, $75 for a family with more than 1 student at WMS and $10 for staff. You can send in cash or a check marked "WMS PTO" to the front office or Venmo @WMS-PTO-1. Please indicate "dues" in the memo.

As a 501(c) 3 Non-Profit Charity we are also able to accept donations above the membership fees and greatly appreciate those who can support us. Thank you in advance for your support!

A big plus to your dues is the chance to participate in our school's amazing events! The first one coming up is a new one for us and has been organized by the 8th grade Grade Level Reps. They, along with WMS, would like to invite you all to start the year with a Night at the Turtle Back Zoo on Friday, September 8th. This is district-wide get together and an opportunity for our families to experience all the zoo has to offer in a special closed event only for Warren.

Thanks so much for your time & your support and we all look forward to a great year! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to us via email or phone
