Spirit wear is coming this Friday!  We will be working on getting the Greater Giving website up to sell the merchandise and possibly an in-person event.  The website is not active yet, but we will let you know when it is.

Christmas gifts for teachers: asking families to donate to a Greater Giving fund that will be spend on the entire staff so that everyone can be recognized.  Hoping to supply teachers with socks and a gift card.  

Lots of volunteer opportunities.  Remember to sign up for Parent Booker.  If you have difficulty signing up on your phone, try from a computer instead.  Every family is required to volunteer 20 hours per year.  Vaccinated volunteers are allowed in the classroom now.  If a teacher requests volunteers in the classroom, you can volunteer for this as long as you have supplied a copy of your vaccination card to the Volunteer Coordinators.  Teacher Wish Lists are also getting posted to Parent Booker.  These are updated periodically with new items or items that have been purchased.

Committees: Teacher Appreciation, Spirit Wear, Auction, Development, Yearbook, Safe Routes to School, etc.  Feel free join any of these committees.  

Volunteer of the Month: Eric Grant has been translating documents and at meetings.  He is also on the Safe Routes to School and Yearbook committees.

Look for upcoming volunteer opportunities for drop off/pick up and front office help.

28 students participated.  Walk took about 13 minutes.  If you would like to continue to do the walk to school, please contact the PTO so that we can continue this.  Remember to use the crossing at school and please don't cut through the parking lot.

New Disney movie that releases this weekend.  You can purchase tickets thru AMC Theater or Fandango and this event will be Saturday at 7pm at AMC Progress Ridge.

Our annual auction will be March 12, 2022.  At this time the auction will be virtual.  If we are allowed to meet in-person, it will be a hybrid event and the in-person part would be at the school.  We need help contacting sponsors.  There is a list of past sponsors and a script to make this easy to volunteer.  Let Christa Billings know if you are interested.
