Ongoing Events

Some events and volunteer opportunities happen on a recurring basis, like the monthly WSA meetings, Science Club, or the quarterly Box Tops deadline. Names of current coordinators can be found on our Committee Contacts page. Please contact us or speak with a board member or other WSA parent for more details!

Monthly Events & Volunteer Activities

  • WSA Meetings
    • Monthly meetings in which event plans, fundraisers, and volunteer opportunities are discussed. There are also reports from the principal and often a teacher representative.
  • Popcorn Friday
    • Once a month, usually on the first or second Friday, the WSA provides free popcorn to all students. This happens during the school day.
  • Science Club
    • Open to all grades, the Science Club is free and offers students a chance to learn about various STEM topics. Science Club meets twice a month after school, with one session for kindergartners and first graders, and the other for students in grades 2-5. There is a sign-up on the WSA website for parents interested in helping lead a session or provide chaperone support, as well as a sign-up to register students each month.
  • Marco’s Pizza Night
    • A fundraiser where the East Lansing Marco’s location donates a portion of sales to the WSA when you order pizza (or other food) that night. Marco’s Night happens once a month, on the third Thursday.
  • Front Display Case Decoration
    • Each month, volunteers choose a theme and decorate the front display case. There is a sign-up on the WSA website.
