PTA/PTO Discussion

The executive board would like to discuss the possibility of becoming at PTO. If you have questions, or concerns please email Kourtney Jolley at kourtneyjolley@yahoo.com or come to the next board meeting for a discussion. Please take the time to research the pro's and con's of switching so we can do what best meets the needs of our students and make an informed decision.

No Cookie Dough Fundraiser

We are doing one of our two major fundraisers this year!

 Kids are to ask for donations for our school, rather than selling cookie dough.  Donations of $15 and up are put in a drawing for prizes.  The more an adult donates, the more chances s/he has to win multiple/better prizes (the prizes are for the donors--not the kids).  If you have questions about the drawings, please call the office.

We are trying to raise money for iPads for the classes.  Currently each class has one iPad (except for 5th grade which shares 6 more between the two classes and Special Ed, which has a total of about 4).  We need more!  Our goal, as a STEAM school, is to eventually have one computing device for every child in the school.  Every penny earned with this fundraiser will be used to buy iPads.  Please help!

Please note that every child who brings back an envelope by November 19th will receive a ticket for a free ice cream at Arctic Circle.  The tickets say they expire on Nov. 15th.  Arctic Circle will continue to honor the tickets after that date.

Please support your students!

Reflections-"The Magic of a Moment"

Please see the flyer for the theme and due date for Reflections this year! Encourage your students to participate in this wonderful program. Registration packets can be picked up in the slots in front of the school.

Box Tops Drawing

Please remember to send in your box tops by Friday, October 26th. The school will be doing the fall drawing. You may send them in on the paper that was sent home or just in a baggie. Thanks for your support!

Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon week will be held October 23-26th.  We will have a fun week filled with lots of fun things to help our students stay drug free. The daily events are as follows:

Tuesday: Sock it to Drugs by wearing crazy, colorful socks today. There will be a winner for the best socks. We also have an assembly with the drug dogs today

Wednesday: Friends don't let Friends do drugs. Today you get to dress like your friends! There will be a prize for the best dressed group of friends.

Thursday: Our future is so bright we gotta wear shades. Wear your sunglasses to school today. Also today will be the color obstacle course with the students from SUU. Please remember to wear clothes that can get stained if the color doesn't wash out.

Friday: We're red-y to say no to drugs. Please wear red today for school spirit. We will have an assembly today about staying safe while Trick or Treating!

Please encourage your students to support us in dressing up each day and participating in the week of fun activities!! A huge thanks to all of those who have worked so hard to make this week a success.

2012-2013 Fundraisers

Please continue to support our school with the easy fundraisers we have enjoyed in the past. This year we will still be doing the following fundraisers:

Smith's
Lin's Receipts
Box Tops
Domino's Pizza Night

In addition to these ongoing fundraisers that support both our school and the community business's we will have more information to follow about one of 2 major fundraisers we will be doing in November. Please watch for more information to be sent home with your child later in October.

Our goal with the continued fundraising efforts is to purchase iPads for the students to use in the classrooms.

SUU Kids Club

Join us in supporting the SUU kids club. Mr Whittier sent out a link to view the benefits and sign up process for the club. This year $10 for every student signed up will go right to out PTA. This could be one of our biggest fundraisers of the year. Please support our PTA and SUU in this partnership and enjoy time together as a family.
