Get Involved

Alumni can get involved, give back, and stay connected by volunteering to share their experiences and expertise with students at WIS assemblies and events; speaking at Lunch and Learns on current topics and events; serving on the Alumni Leadership Council; planning class reunions or regional events; and much more. For more information on how to get involved as a WIS alum, please visit our WIS Alumni page or contact Nataki Corneille, Director of Alumni Relations & Giving, at nataki.corneille@wis.edu.

Each school year, the Advancement team partners with a dedicated group of parents to contact other parents to encourage participation in the WIS Annual Fund. Volunteers reach out to their peers over the phone, through email, and during group phone-a-thon events. If you are interested in serving as an Annual Fund Grade Representative, please contact Katie McCrystal at katie.mccrystal@wis.edu or 202.243.1693. 

Each spring, the WIS community comes together to support current and future students in a night of dancing, dining, and bidding on items and experiences. Alongside the Auction Co-Chairs and the Advancement team, volunteers work together to implement the annual Auction for Financial Aid. Volunteers help with décor, ticket promotion, auction item procurement, and more! 

Each spring, a group of WIS parent volunteers team up to create floral arrangements for students to give to teachers and staff at the Primary School. A decades long tradition, Flower Day is a meaningful event for our community. 

Grade 7 parents help organize a reception for Grade 8 students and parents to celebrate following the Grade 8 Moving Up Ceremony. 

The prom is a time-honored night of glamour and dancing for Grades 11 and 12 students. Grade 11 parent volunteers can get involved with planning and setting up the event. 

The WIS Parents Association (WISPA) sponsors a variety of events across the school year, presenting even more opportunities to get involved and engage with WIS community members. 

Holiday Faculty and Staff Appreciation Event

• WISPA sponsors this event each year to thank WIS faculty and staff. 

WISPA Welcome Back Picnic/Social

• A perfect way to kick off the school year, the annual Welcome Back Social is a cherished school tradition. Current students, families, friends, and faculty come together to play games, enjoy fun activities, and celebrate a new year at WIS. Volunteers help plan and implement this community event. 

FORZA WIS Athletics Celebration 

• Show your support for the WIS Red Devils! The FORZA WIS Athletics Celebration is a fun afternoon of cheering on WIS soccer and volleyball games while enjoying ice cream, hamburgers, and hotdogs and perusing vintage WIS apparel. Volunteers help event chairs promote and run this annual event.

Grill Fridays

• What better way to end each week than by gathering around the grill? All year, WISPA parent volunteers organize, prepare, and serve a grilled lunch each Friday on the Tregaron campus. WIS is pleased to bring back this tradition in the 2021-22 school year with catered lunches and looks forward to seeing parents back at the grill in January 2022. 

We are always coming up with more events and ways to bring our wonderful WIS community together. Let us know if you'd like to be notified as new opportunities arise!
