Shindigs & Shenanigans |
Coordinator: (Previous Chair: Jennifer Trinco)
|
Kicked off at Bandana Day and continued throughout the school year. Party Boards are social events that volunteer parents or teachers host as a way to not only raise money but also to build our community. Examples of Party Boards are: Mom's/Dad's nights out; Hiking/Mountain Bike Outings; Game Night for the kids; Art Parties; Dinner Parties, etc. The host charges a dollar amount to attend the party and all proceeds go back to Wilmot. Expenses of the party are taken on by the host. This is a great way to meet other families and to raise funds for our school. This position helps recruit hosts of parties, ensures parties are taking place and payment is collected for attending the parties. Most of the transactions are done online through our website, managing the parties in a spreadsheet and encouraging hosts to send out reminder evites. You are not required to attend the parties but you can free of charge for managing the process.
Check out our Party Boards page for more info and a calendar of parties!
