FUN FAIR IS TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!
This is Fairview PTO’s Biggest Event of the Year and We Still Need Volunteers!
We are looking for volunteers to help run games, sell food and treats, and help hand out awesome prizes. Shifts are only 90 minutes, and you get 25 ticket credits per shift as a thank you for your time!
Please contact Casey Marsh if you are able to help: caseykmarsh@gmail.com
A NOTE FROM YOUR FAIRVIEW PTO
Hello Fairview Families,
We look forward to seeing everyone at the Fun Fair tomorrow! We have a new ticketing system for games, food, and prizes this year, designed to help make things easier for students, parents, and volunteers alike! Please see the attached flyer for information on how it will work.
We’re making one last push for volunteers. The Fun Fair is a major event, and so much fun for our families. But it takes 100 volunteers to make everything run smoothly, and we currently are short. If we cannot find enough volunteers, we will need to close some games or activities. Please consider helping out if you are able!
Thank you so much to all of the students who participated in the PTO Science Fair last week—your projects were AMAZING!!! And a special thank you to PTO volunteer Sara Christensen for serving as Science Fair chair and making it all happen!
Looking ahead, we have Family Hoops Night on March 10 and our next Special Lunch on March 20. Have a happy and healthy weekend everyone!
Best wishes,
Kim Bondora and Carrie Krupa
YEARBOOK ORDER FORMS WILL BE SENT HOME WITH STUDENTS NEXT WEEK SO REMEMBER TO CHECK THEIR TAKE-HOME FOLDERS.
DISTRICT 57 EDUCATION FOUNDATION GRANTS
The District 57 Education Foundation is a non-profit organization comprised of Mount Prospect community members whose mission is to raise money to fund grants in the areas of curriculum, wellness, and technology. Grant requests may be written and submitted by district teachers, staff, and parents. The grants enrich the educational experiences of all students, helping them to achieve at their highest potential. Funded grants allow teachers to have access to the resources they need to support teaching and learning at Westbrook, Lions Park, Fairview, and Lincoln schools.
Over the years, the Foundation has funded computers, iPads, ELMO projectors, Smartboards, musical instruments, art supplies, fitness equipment, and supplemental reading material - all to enrich our children’s educational experiences. We are currently in the Spring Grant Request Cycle. A description of the grant request submission process and form is located within the Grants section of our website at https://www.57edfoundation.org
Grant requests for this cycle are due by 4/3/2020 to the Ed Foundation at d57edfoundationgrants@gmail.com
Parent community members who are interested in submitting a grant request should contact the school principal to which the grant will benefit. The Ed Foundation will review all requests at our April meeting. Please contact the Ed Foundation Grant team at d57edfoundationgrants@gmail.com with any questions. Thank you for your continuous support of the D57 Education Foundation.
