Special Events

Potluck Supper
Every fall, Wonder Awhile families gather to meet, eat and get to know one another better. In years past, we have all gotten together one Friday night in October at the Winthrop Middle School. Everyone brings a dish, the kids play and create a mural and everyone shares a meal. Afterward, the children spend a few minutes with their teachers (singing Halloween songs) while parents are advised of upcoming events and Board activities. Everyone is welcome!

Donation for the Winthrop Food Bank
Every winter families of Wonder Awhile donate food to the Winthrop Food Bank. The food is collected at school and in some years, students deliver the food to the Food Bank. Children learn about the importance of sharing what we have with people who don't have enough.

Golf Tournament
Wonder Awhile Nursery School hosts an annual golf tournament in late spring. The registration fee covers 18 holes of premier golf, cart, BBQ, and a chance to win prizes.  This is a great opportunity to have fun golfing with your friends while raising money for supplies, field trips and keeping our tuition low! More information.

Walk-a-Thon 
Every spring, the children and parents of Wonder Awhile are encouraged to participate in our annual Walk-a-thon. After collecting pledges from neighbors, friends and family, everyone gathers in the late morning for a short "round the block" walk. Afterwards, there are balloons, stickers and celebration. All money raised goes toward supplies, field trips and keeping our tuition low!

Family Picknick
On the last day of school, parents are invited to join students for a picknick and playing on the playground.
