KATE WICKHAM ELEMENTARY
Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)
"At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child's success is the positive involvement of parents." - Hull
End of Year Picnic - TOMORROW - Wednesday, May 31 - 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
PTO is hosting an end of year picnic on Wednesday, May 31 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Families are encouraged to bring their own picnic dinner or order from one of the food trucks at the event. Kona Ice, Marco's Grilled Cheese and Da Flava Unit will be there. We will have a teacher dunk tank and field games.
Dunk Tank Tickets
See the dunk tank schedule in the image above. This is going to be epic and we know it will be a very popular attraction. Families may purchase dunk tank tickets/throws before 8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 30. For $15 you will receive 6 tickets (each ticket is good for 1 throw). Your 6 tickets/throws may be used throughout the event and split up between siblings if applicable. We are limiting purchases to 1 set of 6 tickets/throws per family as we want to allow as many kids as possible to participate in the dunk tank. We anticipate a long line and want to give everyone a chance to get their throws in throughout the 2 hour event.
At the event we will sell cash only tickets $5 for two tickets/throws as time allows. The dunk tank will be located on the back side of the school and pre-purchased tickets may be picked up at the event.
Here's your chance to dunk:
Ms. Starr
Mrs. Daubs
Mr. Lowry
Ms. Richey
Mr. Haren
Ms. O'Donnell
Mr. Hanrahan
Ms. Gartelos
Ms. Dickerson

Reserve The Celebration Herky

Wickham Elementary has a large Herky dressed up like a wizard prominently displayed near the entry of our school. In years past we offered families the option to rent Herky for a day to display a message of celebration (birthday, half birthday, sporting event, holiday, etc.) for your student. We ask for a $10 donation for each day that you reserve to serve as a fundraiser for PTO.
We are excited to bring back this fun tradition with a few procedure changes that ensure we are following Iowa City Community Schools COVID policy.
