Key Dates.
The Wiley PTA leads and supports a number of programs and events throughout the year. Here are some key dates to know about.
To make sure that you never miss a date, you may also consider subscribing to Wiley PTA’s Google Calendar.
We will continue to keep these calendars up to date throughout the school year.
Cultural Arts Workshop: Dynamic Self-Portraits
Anna Podris and Keith Norval, both Savannah College of Art and Design graduates, are a husband and wife art team who are active in art education and will be leading this workshop for Wiley 4th and 5th graders.
From the artists’ website:
This project will demonstrate that the differences we have in our backgrounds and personalities make for a well rounded school community. Students will come away from this project proud of the unique contributions they make – just by being themselves! Students will paint a self-portrait of their face on a round wooden format, on the reverse they will choose to paint an object, animal or idea that symbolizes their personality and/or school values.
Paintings will be installed in rows by wire or string so that they line up. They can be installed outdoors or indoors. They will be reversible, so that the viewer can see both sides. To prepare for painting faces, the artists will custom mix a wide range of skin and hair paint colors. This project is a way to show how we are all different from one another, but also how alike we are. We are also able to modify the project for schools – relating the themes with curriculum or with school wide values.

St Marys School Performance of “Matilda” - Cultural Arts
Wiley 4th graders will enjoy a matinee performance of “Matilda” by St Marys School drama students at Kenan Recital Hall on the campus of William Peace University.
From Anansi to Zeus
Our K - 2 students are in for a storytelling treat! Ms. Donna Washington will be sharing her live, virtual storytelling experience "From Anansi to Zeus" on Friday, January 14. She uses dynamic language, energetic expressions, and vocal pyrotechnics to bring these stories to life. So, strap yourself in for a wild, fun, entertaining, educational, interactive ride! Ms. Washington is a multiple-award-winning artist with eleven CDs and the author of five children’s books. She has been featured at numerous festivals, schools and libraries, theaters, and other venues around the world including Canada, Peru, Argentina, and Hong Kong.
