Panda PTA News
PTA Meeting/Curriculum Night – On Tuesday, October 2nd, we will hold our first PTA meeting of the year prior to Curriculum night. We will give you an update on events that the PTA has planned for this year and vote on the PTA budget for the 2018-19 school year. Remember that you must be a current PTA member to vote on the budget, so join today.
Monster Dash – Join us for the 9th annual Monster Dash and this year we are chip timed!!!! This family event will include a 5K and 10K run in beautiful downtown Pittsboro and will be held rain or shine! Both races will begin and end at Pittsboro Elementary School. Awards will be given for top male and female finishers, as well as best adult & kid costumes! To register go to https://runsignup.com/Race/NC/Pittsboro/MonsterDashPBO
Sponsors for the Monster Dash are also needed. If you or someone you know might be interested, please contact Michelle Guarino (Guarino.michelle@gmail.com) or visit our Facebook page for more details.
PTA Thrift Shop – Since 1983, over $7 million has been given to Chatham County School PTAs. 40% of profits are distributed evenly across the 17 schools and 60% is distributed based on volunteer hours. You can help PES earn a larger slice of this pie by volunteering. We need people to fill weekly workgroups and empty drop boxes. Can’t make it in the evenings? You can contact the store to be a “drop-in” volunteer who helps straighten the store, sort donations, etc. during store hours. Sign-up information for workgroups and drop boxes can be found here: SignUpGenius
Shopping Programs – Do you shop on Amazon, at Lowe’s Foods, or Harris Teeter? Be sure to register for their loyalty programs and link yourself to Pittsboro Elementary PTA. For Amazon’s program, you must use smile.amazon.com as your starting point and select PTA North Carolina Congress Pittsboro Elementary School PTA as the charity you support.
