UPDATED PTA membership info
Share your talents, sign up to volunteer with whatever interests you. Whatever your talent or interest may be, you will make a difference for the students and staff at Washington!
Volunteer today!
Be sure to do the following for the new school year:
1. Link (or re-link) your Food Lion MVP card, Harris Teeter VIC card (code 2308), and Target RED card so Washington gets a donation whenever you shop - EVEN BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS!!! This costs you nothing, it's just a reward for being an MVP/VIC/Red Card customer. They must be re-linked each school year!
2. Subscribe to receive your PTA newsletter in your e-mail. In an effort to save on the amount of paper we use and the money we spend on printing, we are offering WashinGTon families the opportunity to receive the PTA newsletter on-line instead of on paper. Subscribe now!
You have to resubscribe each year!
3. Sign up to volunteer for something that matches your interests. There's something for everyone, and we need you!

Fundraising
The job of the PTA's Ways and Means Committee is to raise funds which are then used to pay for the many programs, events and grants which enrich our students' educational experiences and support our wonderful staff at Washington.
Here are the fundraisers planned (so far) for this school year. Detailed information about individual fundraisers will be sent home at the appropriate times. If you would like more information about these fundraisers, please contact Julie Zimmerman, VP for Ways and Means using the "Contact Us" page on this website.

Volunteer Time Corporate Grants (year-round): Some companies (click to see a list) will send money to Washington’s PTA when an employee or spouse has volunteered a certain amount of hours at the school.

Passive Fundraising (year-round): By linking grocery store rewards cards, patronizing Educational Funding Alliance members and collecting Box Tops and Campbell’s Labels, you, your family and your friends can earn money for our PTA through normal daily purchases. Click for more information.

School Spirit Items (year-round): Show your school spirit (and raise a little money) by wearing school t-shirts and wristbands and placing a WES magnet on your car (or your child’s grandparent’s, aunt’s and uncle’s cars). (More information, below).

Other Product Sales (occasionally throughout the year): The PTA is occasionally offered opportunities to raise money through the sale of event tickets (e.g. Carolina Hurricanes or Carolina Railhawks games), food during PTA-sponsored evening events or products such as Chick-fil-A calendars or gift wrap. The Ways and Means Committee reviews these fundraising opportunities and usually selects a few to offer to our Washington families throughout the year. Money raised through these occasional sales is used to offset the cost of PTA programs and events.
When you shop Office Depot, give them our number: 70062126 and the school can earn money. Keep the number handy for those back-to-school sales. Details...
