Spring Carnival/Fundraiser
Mark your calendars! The 2019 Ride Through the Decades Spring Carnival and Fundraiser will be held on Friday, March 29, 2019 from 5-8 pm. The event will include entertainment, games, a kid’s raffle, silent auction, food, and lots of family fun!
We Need Donations
We need silent auction and raffle donations. If you have connections, please use them! You don't have to be on the PTO planning committee to help us out. Just let us know who you have contacted and what you can contribute. We love people who like to work behind the scenes. Your contributions are valuable!
Also, if you received any of the following items over the holidays and would like to re-gift them to the PTO, we'd love to take them off your hands!
- Baskets (non-Christmas) that we can use to package silent auction items
- Gift Cards to store or restaurants (full value)
- Unopened and NEW toys (maybe you got duplicates?)
Planning Committee
Areas where planning help is still needed include:
- Sponsorships
- Silent Auction Donations
- Raffle Donations - CHAIR NEEDED
- Entertainment & Games - CHAIR NEEDED
- Food & Beverages
- Decorations
Sponsorships
We are always looking for corporate sponsorships for our events. Sponsorships alleviate the burden of event expenses so that more of our families' dollars can go straight to programs that benefit our kids. If you own a business or have a business connection that would like to help provide a fun community event while also getting a little name recognition, please respond to this email to receive our sponsorship packet.

Library Volunteers Needed
Please help us welcome our new librarian, Mrs. Tammy Fishman, by volunteering to shelve books in the library. Volunteers fill a very important role, as it frees up the librarian to spend more time teaching and helping our students foster a love of reading. By getting the books back out on the shelves as quickly as possible it allows the children to have a wide variety of books to choose from.
Below you will find the link to our Signup page. There you will see a preset schedule, however it is very flexible. If you find a day that works for you, but you need to come earlier or later than posted time, that is no problem. Just reserve the spot that is close to the time you are available and come when you can. Consider coming around lunch time and have lunch with your student and then help in the library. For walker or car rider parents, maybe you can spare an hour or two before school dismisses to pop in and help catch up. Or if you are at school for another occasion, perhaps you could just stop by and see if Mrs. Fishman could use an extra helping hand.
Thank you all for your continued consideration and support. We look forward to working with you!
