Bring the Whole Family to Wishek’s Back-to-School Night!
Join us Monday, August 17, for an evening of family fun as we celebrate the start of a new school year!
Families are invited to visit Wishek Public School, meet their child’s teacher, preview the classroom, and learn more about the year ahead. Parent and family involvement plays an important role in student success, and Back-to-School Night is a wonderful opportunity to begin building strong connections between families and our school staff.
The Wishek PTO will host three sessions of games and bingo in the WPS gym at 5:30, 6:00, and 6:30 p.m. Additional activities, including Pick-a-Duck and Balloon Pop, will be available from 5:00–7:00 p.m.
Following the school activities, the Wishek Association of Commerce will continue the fun with a community showing of the movie GOAT.
Bring the whole family and enjoy a fun-filled evening made possible by Wishek Public School, the Wishek PTO, and the Wishek Association of Commerce. We look forward to welcoming everyone back for another great school year!
