Membership Drive

8/1/2026 12:57 am

Please consider becoming a member of our PTA!

Our Back to School Membership Drive ends October 17th.

By joining you will be eligible to vote on the PTA's funding priorities and provide input into how these dollars, that impact all of our students, are spent. Your financial support, volunteer time, and presence at monthly meetings can make a real difference for our children.  Waynewood is lucky to have such involved parents and an active PTA, but it cannot continue to be so successful without your support and involvement. 

Visit our Membership Page for more information and answers to your membership questions.

We are excited to announce fall enrichment opportunities! 

Piano Club

Girls Who Code

Girls Who Code is back at Waynewood this fall and sign-ups are open now. It's a free before-school club where 4th grade girls learn to code by building real things — games, robots, animations, projects they can take and continue home. No experience needed. Most girls come in with none. Computers are provided (to be used in groups). Participants are welcome to bring their own ipads and we will try to set them up (details to follow).
Space is capped at 12 so every girl gets hands-on time, so sign up early if your daughter is interested.
When: Tuesdays, 8:05–9:00am, in the cafeteria
Dates: Oct 20, Oct 27, Nov 10, Nov 17, Dec 1, Dec 8, Jan 5, Jan 12
Who: 4th grade girls
Cost: Free Spots: 12, first come first served
Drop-off at 8:05 at Door 1. Girls head to class at 9:00.

Boys Run Club

Join us Monday and Thursday mornings for a quick fun run with friends before school. We will be using a program called Marathon Kids which will digitally track the boy’s laps/distance using a unique QR code that they will scan after each lap (approximately ¼ mile per lap). 

Our route will be a figure 8 (2 laps). Lap one goes along the back field paved path, exiting the school briefly to run the sidewalk before re-entering by the baseball field to pick up the path. Lap 2 will loop around the front of the school. 

Details:

WHEN: Monday & Thursday mornings starting Th. Sept. 24 and ending Th. Dec. 17. 

***We will not meet on Student Holidays: Mon. Oct. 12th, Mon. Nov. 2nd, and Thurs. Nov. 26th

TIME: 8:20-8:50 am. Boys will be led in 5-10 minutes of warm up exercises, followed by 15 minutes of jogging. Following their run, they will rest, have some water and a snack and get ready for school. 

WHERE: WWES outside Door 8

WHO: Boys 3rd-6th grade; limited to the first 40 boys

BRING: 

• Sneakers (no crocs, uggs, hey dudes, sandles)

• Water bottle 

• Spare shirt if desired (warm mornings may get sweaty)

COST: $20 to include a T-Shirt and a small fruit snack or starburst after each run.

Cancellation Policy: Run Club will not meet on mornings with inclement weather. On such days, a cancellation email will be sent by the Parent Lead, Jeannette Smith, no later than 7:30 am. 

Finally, we need at least 4 parent volunteers each morning. Be on the look out for a subsequent email with a sign up genius. All volunteers must be FCPS approved. If you haven’t filled out an application yet, you can do so here: https://volunteer.fcps.edu/custom/501/volunteer_home
