Help us Recycle for Wyatt!

Please take your household's #1 plastic bottles and aluminum cans to the ReImagine kiosk outside Kroger at Coit and 121 for recycling. When you choose the "Donate Points To A Local School" option and select "Wyatt Elementary", your points will be credited to Wyatt to be traded in for cash rewards, fitness equipment, and school supplies.

The machine accepts empty aluminum cans and all plastic containers (no caps, please) with a number 1 in the triangle on the bottom - this includes water bottles, as well as many cleaning product containers and condiment bottles. BONUS: For each 1000 containers we turn in by January 20th, we will receive a $100 gift certificate, so turn in those bottles and cans, Wyatt Wallaroos! Please contact Martha Chalhoub, Environmental Committee Chair, at pmchalhoub@sbcglobal.net if you have any questions.

 PTA Reflections Program

We had an outstanding 33 entries in our Reflections program this year. Our theme was "Diversity Means..." and our Wyatt students used literature, music composition, photography, and visual arts to convey what diversity means to them. We congratulate all of these students and continue to cheer for those going on to the state level. Next year's theme is "The Magic of the Moment". We hope to see even more student entries next time!  Click here to view all of our award winners!  Congratulations!

This fall Carter Fielding, 3-year old son of Tammy and Clint Fielding, was diagnosed with Burkitt's lymphoma.  To help with medical expenses, a fund has been established through their church, Preston Meadow Lutheran.  You may contribute in one of two ways; both are tax deductible:

1.  Write a check to Preston Meadow Lutheran with "Fielding Family Fund" on the memo line.  Mail the check to 6801 Coit Road, Plano, TX 75024.

2.  Pay online through your bank to Preston Meadow Lutheran Church with "Fielding Family Fund" on the memo line.

Thank you so much to the Wyatt family for all that you continue to do to help and support the Fielding family.
