Wickham Science Fair -  Volunteer Co-Chair Needed!

After a 3 year hiatus, we would love to bring back the Wickham Science Fair. We have had one parent, with previous science fair experience, volunteer to co-chair this event in 2023. We are looking for one more person willing to serve as co-chair. No previous experience is needed!

Volunteer Chairs will be in charge of selecting the event date and time, planning the event format, communicating with science fair participants, screening entries, and coordinating event details leading up to and on the event date. PTO will provide funding, send communications, handle website registration support and assist with room reservations and planning. If you would be willing to co-chair the science fair please email wickhampto@gmail.com.

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.

PTO volunteers

After two full years of no in-person events due to COVID we need to identify new volunteers willing to help with PTO events. The Wickham PTO provides vital monetary support for field trips, playground equipment, technology, classroom supplies and special educational opportunities such as Chess Club, Spanish Club and Science Fair. Without additional volunteer support, we will no longer be able to provide the funding and enrichment events that we have in the past. Please consider volunteering for a position during the 2022-2023 school year!
