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.
