PTA Positions 2015-2016:
The PTA needs your help! The following positions are open:
Hospitality Chair:
The PTA needs to fill the Hospitality position for the 2015-2016. The current member will be moving but has started the process for you by getting a list of volunteers to help with donations.
Here is a description of this position:
Hospitality teacher appreciation luncheons: These 8 luncheons occur on early release days from 11:45am-1:00pm. Each luncheon has a different theme and we use a Sign Up Genius website to assign different luncheon items - from paper goods to drinks, or casseroles to delicious desserts. Store bought items or home made items are accepted. It is a great way to show our teachers how much we appreciate their hard work with our kids!
This person will be responsible for organizing these luncheons and creating sign up lists for donations, in addition to setting up and cleaning up for the luncheon.
Please contact Sharon Brown, mcessocialprograms@gmail.com for more information.
Membership:
CONGRATS and THANK YOU to the first 125 Middle Creek families & staff to join the PTA for the 2015-16 school year! Membership forms were sent home in Tuesday folders last week. If you misplaced your form, you can print a new one here: http://middlecreekpta.weebly.com/join-the-pta.html. Completed membership forms along with dues ($7 for single and $10 for double membership) can be returned to your child's teacher or dropped off in the front office.
Go Play Save:
The 2015-16 Go Play Save coupon book fundraiser begins on Tuesday, 7/21 for Tracks 1, 2 and 3. This is a great fundraiser for MCES as 50% of the book sales are returned to the school. Coupon books will be sent home with your child along with selling instructions and a collection envelope. This year we have two book options - the traditional paper book or a mobile version! As an added bonus, purchasers will also be able to order and pay for books online. Be sure to check your child's bag on Tuesday for your coupon book and detailed instructions.
The Go Play Save committee could use a few more volunteers to help distribute books to classrooms on Tuesday, 7/21 at 8:45 AM. Please sign up here to help (we'll have coffee & bagels!): http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0d49ada82ea75-goplay
Volunteers Needed for the School Store:
Tuesdays: K-2 kids welcome from 8:00-8:25am
Thursdays: 3-5 kids welcome from 8:00-8:25am
The school store sells little pencils, erasers, fun little school items for kids to purchase - prices range from $0.10 - $2.00, so kids can easily afford to buy something even with a little bit of pocket change. It is located at the end of the main hallway, adjacent to the 2nd grade hallway. Please contact Stephanie Petty, stephaniepettyrn@yahoo.com
