Parents / Guardians,

Help-a-Thon

We are kicking off our 11th annual Help-a-Thon TODAY.  Please be on the lookout for your student’s pledge envelope. It will contain the following:  parent letter, FAQ flyer, and receipt.  Check out last year’s video. If you would like to be a t-shirt sponsor, please give a call or drop me an email.  Pledges are due by Fri., Sept. 8 (the envelope students received today says 9/1).

PTO’s 1st Monday Treats

It is customary for the PTO to provide breakfast/treats/snacks etc. on the first Monday of the month.  The first day we will do is Sept. 11. Be on the lookout for sign-up genius links for opportunities to help out.  It is our plan to ask different groups of parents each month so we are not continually asking ALL parents each month.    
 

Have a great weekend!  Next week is shaping up to be beautiful!  (Only 18 days ‘til the festival!)
