A Time for Giving
During this time of the year, some families have asked how they can make a donation to help support the wonderful programming at P.A.W.S. and there are a few ways to do this.
-
Donations can be made in any amount by check to the P.A.W.S. PTO to help support the work of our PTO, who in turn directly support the programs in the preschool.
-
Donations can be made in any amount by check to Wellesley Public Schools with for P.A.W.S. written in the Memo section. If you have a specific wish as to how you would like your donation to be used, please indicate your intentions (for example: for library books, for general use, for the purchase of outdoor toys, etc.)
-
Families can donate to the P.A.W.S. Tuition Assistance fund (https://wellesleyps.org/paws/p-a-w-s-tuition-assistance-fund/) to help students in the community in need have a chance to attend preschool with us.
All checks can be sent to or dropped off at the P.A.W.S. office. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact P.A.W.S. and we will be happy to assist you.
As always, thank you for your support and positive participation in the P.A.W.S. preschool community! We appreciate your kindness and partnership and look forward to seeing you on December 18th at our virtual Winter Traditions Celebration!
Be well,
‘Becca Z.
