We had a lot of people sign up to help out with many areas that are needed to get our school year rolling and we thank you for that.......however, there are still a few key coordinator positions that we are hoping to fill.  These opportunities are such great ways to meet more people at Wyatt, help our school out, and have fun all at the same time.  We have many resources to help you get started and many volunteers ready to support you.  We hope you'll join us!
