Popcorn Friday!!!
January 26th is Popcorn Friday! We need volunteers, two shifts available: 8:30-10:00 and 10:00-11:30, or whatever works for your schedule (it's completely flexible). This is a fun and easy way to spend time at English Landing. And thanks to the Doss's and Popculture donating the popcorn, we don't have to pop the popcorn anymore we just scoop it and deliver it! Contact Amy Moench (amymoench@gmail.com) if you're interested in helping out on November 17th or any of the other remaining Popcorn Friday dates: February 23, May 4.
Room Parties - upcoming Friendship Party
Thank you to all who planned, organized, donated, and helped in some way for the Winter Party in December. I heard many good party reviews from the kids! The last party of the year is the Friendship Party on February 14 from 2:00 - 3:00 pm. Many classrooms already have volunteers (thank you!), but some classrooms are still in need of a party host. Classrooms still needing hosts are Pudenz, Willis, and Beck. Party plans can be found on the English Landing website under PTA, so party planning shouldn't be hard at all! Links are below. I will be sending more detailed information to party hosts soon.

PTA committee highlight of the month - Room Parties
This month is: Room Parties
Room Parties is a year-long position that begins in August and ends with the Friendship Party and Susan Moore currently holds this position. Susan provides a signup genius for every teacher for every party, which she creates in August. She helps find party hosts for each classroom. Susan will email the grade level party hosts to remind them of the party plans and helps answer any questions the hosts may have for the party.
For more information, contact Susan Moore at susmoore28@gmail.com
Thank you Susan for helping EL PTA with all of the Room Parties!!
