THANK YOU from the Webb School Parents’ Association for the tremendous support that our organization has received this school year! As a celebration of all who have assisted the executive committee with their time and donations, we are hosting a Volunteer Wine and Cheese Party before our annual meeting. The festivities will be held on Monday, May 22nd at 5:00pm in the Alumni Center on campus. During this time, the WSPA will present a new award, the WSPA Volunteer of the Year Award, to thank a very well deserving individual who has given substantially of their time and efforts this school year. Please plan to join us in toasting this person and RSVP to carriebtaylor80@hotmail.com by May 17th to let us know if you will be attending the social.

The WSPA annual meeting will follow immediately afterward at 5:30pm. We will report on the year’s programs, including our Back-to-School Bash, Faculty Enrichment Award, Fall Festival, campus decorations, Thankfulness Baskets, Snack Depot, Hot Chocolate Bar, teacher and staff appreciation gifts, and our signature fundraiser to support our faculty bonus program, the Belles and Buckles Gala. We will give a glimpse of the 2023-24 school year schedule, volunteer opportunities, and elect officers. The nominating committee led by Vice President Gina Reeves has requested that current members serve another term, so the submitted slate of officers is as follows: President Ginger Bobo Shofner, Vice-President Gina Reeves, Secretary Carrie Brooke Simmons, and Treasurer Caroline Hulan Smith ‘98. We’re glad to announce that Dr. Tabetha Sullens ‘94, Assistant Head for Student Affairs, will remain as the Administration Liaison to WSPA for 2023-24, and we thank her for the consistent and sound leadership she has provided to us this year.

UNIFORM DROP-OFF DAY

Tuesday, May 23, 8:00am to 2:00pm, Student Center

The WSPA is changing how the Uniform Exchange Sale (UES) operates, switching from a consignment model to a purchasing model. Beginning with our upcoming Uniform Drop-Off Day on May 23, the WSPA will buy your children’s uniforms from you based upon a set price schedule.  At Drop-Off, our volunteers will examine your items to verify they qualify for the sale (clean, no stains, rips, or missing buttons, etc.) and will add up what your purchase price will be. If you agree to that price, WSPA will accept your clothing and mail you a check fairly soon afterwards. This change in structure has been a long-term goal of the WSPA, to reduce the amount of labor, money, and time involved in consignment record-keeping. No more waiting for the sale of your items to take place months or years later!

On May 12, 2023, checks are being mailed out to consignors who had clothes sold in this school year’s sales held in August and January. If any of those people also have consigned uniforms that have not yet sold and are still in the UES inventory, their check will also include the purchase price of those remaining items. 

For consignors who just have unsold clothes in UES inventory that are valued at less than $10, you will be receiving an email from UES Chairman Jennifer Powers using the WebbSchoolUES@gmail.com address regarding your account. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to her. 

As always, if you would prefer to donate your uniforms to put in the sale, the WSPA will gladly accept them! THANK YOU for the support of UES and special thanks to Chairman Jennifer Powers for all her hard work in operating and updating our system.

If you would like to volunteer to help take in those uniforms, just sign-up at the Sign-Up Genius link here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090b4dafa62aa6fb6-uniform#/
