Home & School Membership (2025-2026)
We need 30% of Willingdon families to hold a Home & School membership this year. Why?

No membership = no pizza days, no froyo, no Corn Roast, no foam parties… basically no fun. Membership is just a small step for parents, but a giant leap for Willingdon kids! Please take 2 minutes to join today.
Soaked, Smiling, and Seriously Thankful!
A massive shoutout to everyone who came out for the Grand Finale—whether you were chasing kids through the laser tag arena, getting repeatedly dunked in the dunk tank, or helping us herd the chaos with a smile.
