The PTO at Wilder does a lot of fun things. We host free family events during the school year, run the annual Read-A-Thon (RAT) and Scholastic book fair. Along with little celebrations and acknowledgements for students and staff throughout the school year. We also financially support programs, assemblies, field trip transportation, classrooms, school gallery, safety patrol and so much more.

Fundraising of course. Two large fundraisers are held each school year along with pledges from the Read-A-Thon, dine to donate events & Wilder Community business sponsors. Another source is Scrip. This program provides additional funds to buy needed items for classrooms, fun things for recess/gym and awesome prizes for Read-A-Thon!

The Wilder Elementary PTO is a 501c, which means EVERY PENNY earned goes straight back to the school.

There are many ways you can help. You can come to a meeting, volunteer, support the fundraisers, attend events and donate through gift card purchases with Scrip.
